Abstract:
The differential solubility of ferromanganese oxides can lead to stratigraphic separation of iron and manganese. Results of chemical analysis of a sequence of ferromanganese nodules overlying iron-rich crusts in northern Green Bay show that selec¬tive ion transport is important in concentrating manganese and associated trace elements near the oxygenated water-sediment interface. Manganese carbonate, which cements ferromanganese nodules, occurs in dark-gray silty sands that are located adjacent to the organic-rich muds of southern Green Bay. These muds contain an average of approximately 3.5 ppm (6x10-5M) interstitial Mn with 2.8 meq/l carbonate alkalinity. Thermodynamic calculation shows that interstitial water approaches equilibrium with MnCO3 in the upper 10 cm of sediment. This carbonate has a composition (Mn73Ca22Fe5)CO3 and has been identified as rhodochrosite.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.
