Abstract:
The oceanic region between the Tonga-Kermadec Trench and New Zealand to the east and Australia to the west (see map at the back of this volume) has long been regarded as an anomalous region. Prior to development of the plate tectonic theory, it was known that the eastern boundary of the region was tectonically active, the western relatively passive. The DSDP Leg 21 overall objective was to provide initial coring data which would aid in reconstructing the tectonic history and relative plate movements of the Pacific and Indian crustal plates and determining the age of the tectonic features contained within the Tasman Sea region. In particular, the age and biostratigraphy of the oldest Pacific crustal section now being subducted into the Tonga-Kermadec Trench (Site 204) and the age and composition of the South Fiji Basin and of the basement rock (Site 205).

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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