1862 Philos. Trans. 1861 (Royal Soc.) 151 676 I had thus visibly presented before me the ‘tremors’ that nearly invariably are described as preceding and following the main shock..in every great earthquake.

1898 Science 18 Feb. 233/2 The noise did not stop with the main shock, but tremors and rumblings..are described as occurring during the entire night.

1930 Times 22 Nov. 11/6 There was a severe earthquake in South-western Albania at 3 o'clock this morning, the main shock lasting 20 seconds.

1987 Nature 14 May 136/2 We suggest that the repeated occurrence of Parkfield foreshocks and mainshock hypocentres within the PPZ is due to the same mechanism that caused the changes following the Coalinga earthquake to be larger within the PPZ than along other parts of the Parkfield section of the San Andreas fault.

1995 Nature 18 May 192/2 Many large aftershocks, and even some mainshocks, occur on unrecognized or minor faults for which it is either impossible or impractical to calculate the ΔCFS following a nearby earthquake.
