Abstract:
The purpose of the cruise was to map the manganese rich pavements of the Blake Plateau area which had been extensively investigated by ships of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution since 1956. From August until September 1965, 112 sites were sampled from R/V Gosnold on a joint USGS-WHOI expedition. At most of the stations on the Blake pavement, large slabs of manganese were recovered along with phosphate rich nodules.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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