SIO Ferromanganese Nodule Description file - IDOE Portion
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography compiled descriptions of sediment samples
related to ferromanganese deposits, funded through the International Decade of Ocean
Exploration (IDOE) and Project MAGNOD by the National Science Foundation, as part
of the SIO world sediment data bank. Descriptions are for 41 cores, 136 grab/dredges,
and 19 box cores primarily from the East Central Pacific. 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 and MMS Marine Minerals CDROM data set released by the former
National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)(now part of NCEI) in October of 1992. They
are also available for direct download from the NCEI web site.
