Bacterial mats of the oxide ores in the world ocean

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017
Bacterial mats, formed by successively accumulating biofilms, are the main constructive component of the oxide ferromanganese ores on the oceanic floor.

Composition of ferromanganese nodules from the Pacific

open access: yes, 1977
Bulk composition of ferromanganese nodules from the pelagic environment of the Pacific Ocean is apparently related to nodule-growth rate, sediment-accumulation rate, and biologic productivity in the overlying seawater. Nodules with a high Mn/Fe ratio and

Open‐Source Marine Biodiversity Data Quality in the Norwegian Sea Spanning 149 Years: Knowledge Gaps in the Deep‐Sea Mining Opening Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
To identify spatial–temporal patterns of marine species biodiversity and to provide specific information in Norway for Environmental Impact Assessments and Statements, we present biodiversity patterns for marine occurrences from 1876 to 2025 (149 years).

(Table 1, page 146) Iron, manganese and nickel contents of 21 ferromanganese nodules from Combe D'Izame and Mont Peyroux, Montagne Noire

open access: yes, 1973
Ferromanganese nodules (equivalent to Recent manganese nodules) are described from the Upper Devonian griotte (red pelagic limestone) of the Montagne Noire (S. France) and the Cephalopodenkalk of the Rheinisches Schiefergebirge, West Germany.

Molybdenum isotope fractionations between ferromanganese oxides and seawater influenced ancient sedimentary isotopic signatures

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
The use of molybdenum isotopes (δ98Mo) as a paleo-redox proxy requires quantifications of fluxes and isotopic fractionations in each molybdenum sink.

Chemical composition of manganese nodules and crusts from the Central Pacific

open access: yes, 2023
Of the 26 samples collected during VA-05/1 cruise of R V Valdivia during 1972, 19 were nodules of different forms, 4 ferromanganese crusts and 3 cylindral nodules. Nodules and crusts were air dried and pulverised.

Heterogeneous marine environments diversify microbial-driven polymetallic nodule formation in the South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Most studies on the genesis of polymetallic nodules suggested that nodules in the South China Sea (SCS) are hydrogenetic; however, the complexity and the heterogeneity in hydrology and geochemistry of the SCS might cause different processes of nodule ...

The Formation of Ferromanganese Crusts From the Western Mariana Ridge and Implications for Deep‐Water Environment Since the Late Pliocene

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Pacific Deep Water (PDW) plays a crucial role in the dynamics of the global thermohaline circulation. Understanding the evolution of the PDW is significant to reveal the global carbon cycle and its climatic responses. We present a comprehensive study of ferromanganese crusts from the Western Mariana Ridge (WMR), which includes mineralogical ...

Petrography and stratigraphic Os isotopic ages of ferromanganese nodules from the Northwest Pacific east of Minamitorishima Island

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences: X
The area offshore of Minamitorishima Island, Northwestern Pacific Ocean, contains large amounts of seafloor mineral resources such as ferromanganese (Fe–Mn) nodules, Fe–Mn crusts, and rare-earth element and yttrium (REY)-rich muds.
