Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from DSDP Site 41, Leg 5 (Cores 5-41-1, 5-41-5)

DOI

Site 41 marks the transition from the North Pacific gyral to the Equatorial Current System. The JOIDES Pacific Advisory Panel selected a site at this latitude along the longitudinal profile of 140°W in order to obtain information on the history of migrations of these current systems.

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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.
