Abstract:
This report presents the results of chemical analyses of pelagic sediment samples and associated ferromanganese nodules collected at DOMES Site A, located in the equatorial North Pacific. The samples examined in this study were taken from 7.5 cm diameter sub-cores of 66 box cores. The box cores were collected on two cruises of the R/V Oceanographer, cruises RP-23-OC77 and RP-1-OC78. Cores containing two types of sediment lithology were recovered cores containing only Quaternary sediment and those containing early Tertiary sediment overlain by 0.5 to 20 cm of Quaternary sediment. The two sediments of different age can be distinguished by their radiolarian assemblage, color, and mineralogy. The sea floor coverage of nodules tended to be lower in cores which contained Tertiary sediment than in those containing only Quaternary sediment.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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