Abstract:
Ferromanganese deposits, mostly manganese crusts, are common in elevations along the northeastern Brazilian continental margin. Association of the deposits with more or less altered basaltic rock can be observed. On the Pernambuco Plateau and Ceara Guyot, ferromanganese deposits occur associated with phosphatic material and nodules. The mineralogical composition of the ferromanganese deposits indicates a predominance of the manganese oxide phase dMnO2. Low contents of Mn and Cu are characteristic of their chemical composition. Fe and Mn in the deposits probably precipitated from the sea 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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.
