There remains some uncertainty as to the identification of individual deposits, due to the presence of deposits apparently related to the 201:
The magnitude of this earthquake has been estimated using the extent and distribution of tsunami deposits thought to have been formed by the triggered tsunami. A maximum inundation in the range 1.0 to 2.5 km has been inferred from the deposits. Modelling of possible earthquake ruptures gives an
