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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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

Noil_Tobee_M-1	-1.750	-3.50	Buried	Mn nodule	Many	2.0-10.0 cm with biggest 10.0x8.5x6.0 cm	Core; chert	Red clay	From bottom, a thin bedded limestone, the manganese nodule rich beds evolve from 40 cm a yellow clay topped by 3 m of red clay up to the soil surface. They are found with numerous shark's teeth	Rather spherical with a botryoidal surface. They possess distinct concentric layers which are mostly black. Often they have a white or grey core of chert containing radiolaria.	1938,1316
Noil_Tobee_M-2	-1.750	-3.50	Buried	Mn nodule	Several	Biggest is 10.0x9.5x3.5 cm		Red clay	From bottom, a thin bedded limestone, the manganese nodule rich beds evolve from 40 cm a yellow clay topped by 3 m of red clay up to the soil surface. They are found with numerous shark's teeth.	Broad and flat. Harder and heavier than more common type. They have a smooth surface. When broken into halves these nodules look quite compact and homogeneous and show no trace of a concentric structure.	1938,1316
Noil_Tobee_M-3	-1.750	-3.50	Buried	Mn nodule	Few		Core; shark tooth	Red clay	From bottom, a thin bedded limestone, the manganese nodule rich beds evolve from 40 cm a yellow clay topped by 3 m of red clay up to the soil surface. They are found with numerous shark's teeth.	On rare occasions, nodules are formed around shark's teeth.	1938,1316
Noil_Tobee_M-4	-1.500	-3.00	In sediment	Mn micronodule	Several	2.0-3.0 mm		Red clay	The manganese micronodule rich red clay is situated in the upper 3 m up to the soil surface.	Micronodules average about 2-3 mm in diameter	1938,1317
