Distinguishing between seismic and aseismic fault slip in the geologic record is difficult, yet fundamental to estimating the seismic potential of faults and the likelihood of multi‐fault ruptures. We integrated chirp sub‐bottom imaging with targeted cross‐fault coring and core analyses of sedimenta...
