Scientific paper

Agenor Linea is a ~1500 km long, ~20-30 km wide geologically young zone of deformation on Jupiter's icy moon, Europa. On the basis of recent Galileo high-resolution images, we interpret Agenor Linea as a strike-slip zone formed in three stages by a combination of lithospheric separation, extension, and dextral horizontal shear. Agenor Linea exhibits excellent examples of strike-slip duplexes in an icy lithosphere, unobscured by vegetation and unaltered by erosion.
