Abstract:
Manganese nodules containing up to 22 percent manganese oxide were found in Green Bay and the western and northern parts of Lake Michigan. The chemical composition of these nodules resembles that of shallow-water lacustrine and marine nodules. The manganese content of interstitial water is in some places enriched as much as 4000 times over that of lake water.

Comment:
From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database.
