Scientific paper

Fractal analysis of the fracture pattern of Conamara Chaos area (8oN, 274oW) of Europa satellite has been made. We have used the tectonic interpretation in Rodriguez Pascua et al. 2003, which shows two recognizable tectonic phases besides a relic background. Fractal dimensions for these two systems are 1.41 (ancient fault system) and 1.77 (active fault system). This means that the second phase reactivated some of the fractures of the first stage. Fracture density maps are in agreement with the conventional tectonic analysis, pointing out the same stress field tensor. Minimum density values for the blocky terrain on the active system map indicate a different behaviour of the matrix material than the brittle of the surrounding area.
