Event occurrence
When the earthquake occurred; this is not a publication clock.
A larger earthquake was recorded, but not selected
Discovery alone is not useful delivery. This retained candidate exposes a selection gap to investigate.

Retained feed timestamp
The source timestamp preserved in our audited record.
Candidate recorded
When our discovery system recorded a candidate; selection and delivery are separate.
What this does not establish
- The retained feed timestamp is not proven to be the first public publication.
- No delivered alert or first-on-the-internet advantage was verified.
- Earthquake magnitude and location can be revised; this shows the retained version, not a current hazard bulletin.
