- Abstract:
-
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography compiled descriptions of sediment samples related to ferromanganese deposits, funded through the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE) by the National Science Foundation, as part of the SIO world sediment data bank. Nodule description data are for approximately 200 core, dredge, and grab samples worldwide. Data include lithology, percent CaCO3, constituents by grain size, organic material/fossils, ages, other features, and minerals. Station and inventory information are included. These data are included in ASCII form on the NOAA & MMS Marine Minerals CDROM data set released by NGDC in October of 1992. They are also available for direct download from NGDC's web site.
- Purpose:
- Marine Minerals Research and Exploration, Environmental Impact
