Chihuahua Earthquakes

Wulfenite from Los Lamentos

Are you following the earthquakes occurring just SE of us in Mexico? Two occurred last Thursday and two more occurred today.

Go to http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php and scan the list for Chihuahua. Today’s quakes occurred just 85 miles from us. The epicenters were here.

I’m sure you know about all of the hot springs in Texas near Ft. Hancock/Sierra Blanca including the famous Indian Hot Springs (Map) just down river from Fort Hancock and a hand full of miles from today’s Chihuahuan quake. You can draw a straight line from Sierra Blanca to Indian Hot Springs to today’s epicenter in Chihuahua.

Just south of there are the wulfenite mines of Los Lamentos. Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral associated with lead ores and a secondary ore of molybdenum.

Something is cooking underground!
