Abstract:
It is the purpose of this chapter to present information available at the time of publication on the internal features of manganese nodules, to offer genetic interpretations of these features, and to suggest new lines of research. To judge from the limited data available on ocean floor crusts rich in manganese and iron (see, for example, Aumento et al., 1968, doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.862565 ), much of what is learnt about nodules may be applied eventually to an understanding of the origin of these more continuous masses. A genetic relationship between these two is likely.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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