Description:
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
Supplemental Information:
Observing station type: Ship. Data collection type: coring stations.   NGDC MGGID 15995015.  Number of sites: 200 stations.  Number of observations: 200.  Processing: Data collected from published sources for the NSF/IDOE Manganese Nodule program /  Sediment Data Bank Project  by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.  Previous FE00250.
