Abstract:
Site 49 had been selected to investigate the basal part of the sedimentary sequence as revealed by the acoustic profiles, and to sample the underlying opaque material. However, the cherty nature of the sediments prevented penetration of the section at Site 49, and the only recourse appeared to be to move to a spot of even thinner sedimentary cover. Such a place existed, just downslope from Site 49, where Horizon B' comes very close to the surface, this is where Site 50 was selected.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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