Abstract:

Bog manganese was long ago reported from various places in Columbia county (1:54) and it seemed well to reexamine these occurrences. According to W. W. Mather in his report of the First District Survey, 1836-42, " in the counties of Columbia and Dutchess 50,000 tons of manganese could be procured without any great expense, if carefully prepared." He also stated that some of the bog manganese showed on analysis as high as 68.5 per cent manganese oxide and less than 5 per cent silica. At the direction of the State Geologist the writer has devoted most of the summer of 191 7 to this work. The results of this investigation, though not in any way confirming the quantitative results of Mr Mather, are herewith published as a matter of record and as an account of the manner of the occurrence and the genesis of postglacial bog manganese.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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