Abstract:
Occurrences and associations of ferro-manganese deposits at relatively shallow depths in the Hawaiian Archipelago were revealed by a series of cruises on the R/V Teritu. The deposits are accreting principally on the three prominent terrace levels around all of the Islands-at 400 to 800 meters, 1200 to 1600 meters, and 2400 meters as crusts and pavements. In some instances, examples of deposits at low depth demonstrate the rapid growth of ferro-manganese oxides and the importance of seed material for manganese coating to grow on artificial seeds. A large number of iron and steel samples encrusted with ferromanganese deposits have been collected by divers during the past year off Oahu beaches.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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