On June 25, 2025 at 19:11 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 31 km NNE of Sheridan, Wyoming, at a depth of 0.0 km and coordinates 45.0684°, -106.8276°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
