Abstract:

The stratigraphic study focuses on the description of lithofacies and geological sections of secondary, tertiary and quaternary formations in different parts of western Sicily. The tectonic analysis derived from field studies is used to trace the history and effects of the Alpine orogeny on the geology of Western Sicily. During his field study the author conducted several chemical element analysis on fossil manganese nodules extracted from Jurassic limestone beds.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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