The largest aftershock took place near Pulumur on 15 March 1992. No clear surface breaks were observed, although teleseismic studies suggested that it was a strike-slip earthquake striking parallel to the North Anatolian fault, with a focus of approximately 10=/-2km depth, 30km rupture length, 95cm of slip, and a 1.16 x10 "SUP 26" dyn.cm seismic moment. the aftershock distribution concentrated at an area of the intersection between the North Anatolian fault and the Ovacik fault. These results indicate that the previously suggested seismic gap along the North Anatolian fault, east of Erzincan, still remains unruptured
