wanted to add something like

The epicentre of this quake was near that of the 1911 Sarez earthquake which formed the Usoi Dam across the Murghab river.

but I don't like the word 'near' probably needs a distance calculated from the the two coordinates - looks like about 8km but that's just rough looking at them on google maps EdwardLane ( talk) 15:12, 8 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Done, but in 1911 measurement of epicenter was approximate. Wykx 16:17, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
