(Table 2) Composition of native metals and intermetallides from bottom sediments of the Markov Deep, Mid-Atlantic Ridge

An additional ore field in the central part of the MARhas been discovered. Together with previously discovered Logachev (14°45'N) and Ashadze (12°58'N) ore fields, the new ore field constitutes a cluster with preliminarily estimated total ore reserve of >10 Mt, which is comparable with large continental massive sulfide deposits.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from SAFARI II cruise stations

The cores and dredges described at this site were taken on the SAFARI II cruise from 21 July until 1 September 1981 by the MusÈum National d'Histoire Naturelle from the R/V Marion Dufresne. A total of 65 cores, dredges and camera stations were recovered and are available at MNHN for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from THETA-1 (TH1) Expedition stations

The cores described in this list were taken on the THETA-1 (TH1) Expedition in June to September 1956 from the R/V Theta. A total of 19 cores and dredges were recovered and are archived at Scripps for sampling and study.
