Abstract:	An acoustically very transparent layer is present over much of the deep basin—here termed the Central Basin—between the Gilbert and Marshall Islands on the west and the Line Islands on the east. The Pacific Panel recommended drilling in this region to sample at least the upper transparent layer, and the first opaque layer beneath. Several possible sites were considered by the panel and by the shipboard party. Of paramount importance in choosing a particular site was a concern that sufficient sediments be present to bury the bottom-hole assembly (the drill collars and bumper subs) before the bit struck hard rock. A set of nearly continuous cores of an apparently uninterrupted section of radiolarian ooze ranging in age from middle Eocene to Recent was obtained, but the bit did not reach the deepest seismic reflector. Below depths of 127 meters, in the Oligocene and Eocene, thin chert and turbidite beds are sparsely interbedded with ooze.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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

Event	ID	Sample label	Depth sed [m]	Position	Deposit type	Quantity	Substrate	Sediment	Comment	Description
7-65	7-65-7-CC,0-1	7-65-7-CC,0	62.6	In sediment	Mn micronodule	Few		Consolidated sediment	The rock is a pale yellowish-brown (10 YR7/2) to pale olive gray (5Y7/1) somewhat friable arenite (Middle Miocene)	Rare manganese  micronodules, 100-500 microns. They are rounded or botryoidal, with often a core of altered volcanic debris. The presence of broken micronodules indicates that they were introduced as clastic particles, rather than formed in situ.
7-65	7-65-9-1,0-100-1	7-65-9-1,0-100	74.7	In sediment	Mn micronodule	Several		Ooze	Radiolarian ooze, slight secondary silicification, moderate brown, slight grayish orange mottling (Lower Miocene)	Scattered coarser beds rich in palagonite, ferromanganese micronodules and spicules. (Lithology and biostratigraphy of Core 9, Hole 65.0, page 884)
7-65	7-65-14-CC,0-1	7-65-14-CC,0	128.1	Buried	Mn coating	Several	Radiolaria	Consolidated sediment	Impure cristobalitic porcelanite,  40% grains of altered organic and volcanic origin (almost all of which appear to be ""floating""), and 60% groundmass that is largely cristobalite (Upper Eocene)	Of the grains, remains of radiolarians are most abundant. There is every range from sharp outlines, often accented by thin ferromanganese coatings on the walls of the radiolarians and interiors of slightly different colored matrix
7-65	7-65-17-CC,0-1	7-65-17-CC,0	147.0	In sediment	Mn micronodule	Several		Consolidated sediment	Sandstone, laminated, yellowish brown, irregularly silicified (Upper Eocene)	Grains with ferromanganese micronodules and sponge spicules. (Lithology and biostratigraphy of Core 17, Hole 65.0, page 703)
7-65A	7-65A-1-CC,0-1	7-65A-1-CC,0	1129.1	In sediment	Mn micronodule	Several		Consolidated sediment	Porcelanite, dark brownish gray, grading to clinoptilolitecristobalite mudstone (Upper Eocene)	Contains 10% of sand-size radiolarians, palagonite fragments, and ferromanganese micronodules. (Lithology and biostratigraphy of Core 1, Hole 65.1, page 704)
