Abstract
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.
