<Summary>For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.871242"! ** Description of piston cores taken in the North Eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico by the University of Texas, Marine Institute, Galveston scientists aboard the R/V Ida Green from 11 June 1976 until 3 July 1976.
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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.</Summary>
