Prockter, L.M., Pappalardo, R.T. and Head, J.W. (2000). Strike-slip duplexing on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. Journal of Geophysical Research 105: doi: 10.1029/1999JE001226. issn: 0148-0227.

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. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
