7.6 corresponds to a MS (surface wave magnitude, surely underestimated due to the magnitude saturation effect), 8.1 corresponds to the moment magnitude given by the Harvard CMT project. 8.0 is also a moment magnitude given this time by usgs. The important thing to say is that the error associated to these measures of moment magnitude is surely larger than .1 andre 14:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
