  A weak absorption feature at 2.07 \textmu m on Europa's trailing hemisphere
has been suggested to arise from radiolytic processing of an endogenic salt,
possibly sourced from the interior ocean. However, if the genesis of this
feature requires endogenic material to be present, one might expect to find a
correlation between its spatial distribution and the recently disrupted chaos
terrains. Using archived near-infrared observations from Very Large
Telescope/SINFONI with a $\sim$1 nm spectral resolution and a linear spatial
resolution $\sim$130 km, we examine the spatial distribution of this feature in
an effort to explore this endogenic formation hypothesis. We find that while
the presence of the 2.07 \textmu m feature is strongly associated with the
irradiation pattern on Europa's trailing hemisphere, there is no apparent
association between the presence or depth of the absorption feature and
Europa's large-scale chaos terrain. This spatial distribution suggests that the
formation pathway of the 2.07 \textmu m feature on Europa is independent of any
endogenous salts within the recent geology. Instead, we propose that the source
of this feature may simply be a product of the radiolytic sulfur cycle or arise
from some unidentified parallel irradiation process. Notably, the 2.07 \textmu
m absorption band is absent from the Pwyll crater ejecta blanket, suggesting
that radiolytic processing has not had enough time to form the species
responsible and placing a lower limit on the irradiation timescale. We are
unable to find a plausible spectral match to the 2.07 \textmu m feature within
the available laboratory data.
