Abstract:
Fifteen manganese nodules from the Australian region have been analysed by the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) from the Department of Minerals and Energy, Australia. These samples were analysed for Fe, Mn Ni, Cu and Co using Atomic Absorption Spectrophometry.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.
This dataset represent the digitized Table 3, pp. 26 of the related publication.
