Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Atlantis - Cruise 151 (Dec. 1947) in the Atlantic Ocean

One of the objectives of WHOI Atlantis Cruise 151, covering the period from 7 December 1947 to 18 June 1948, was to obtain as complete a sampling of the sea bottom of the Meditterranean and Aegean Seas as was compatible with the remainder of the scientific program. It was furthermore planned to make concurrent bottom photographs as a means for studying the correlation between bottom sediments and the morphology of the sea floor. The photographs also held the possibility of determining the presence of bottom fauna. The underwater camera used for this work was loaned to us by Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia University. As it was fitted with a one foot long coring tube at the base of its pole a majority of the bottom samples were obtained by the camera itself. On the way to Gibraltar, several bottom photos were taken in the Atlantic ocean. One of them was the deepest underwater photograph ever taken at the tima (3026 fathoms) showing a cluster of objects, some as much as 5 inches across on a clay bottom. These appeared to be manganese nodules, judging from their rounded and bulbous shape, especially the potato-like form of some of them. A core sample obtained at the same spot with a corer attached to the camera stand contained abundant manganese grains.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from TETHYS Expedition stations

The cores and dredges described in this report were taken on the TETHYS Expedition from June 1960 until July 1960 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Spencer F. Baird. A total of 124 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Ryofu Maru Cruise JEDS-4 stations

Manganese nodules and manganese-coated pumice fragments were recovered at Station E6 at the middle of the flat Northwest Pacific Basin, during the Japanese Deep Sea Expedition of 1961 undertaken aboard R/V Ryofu Maru.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from WAHINE Expedition stations

The cores described in this report were taken on the WAHINE Expedition in February to March 1965 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Spencer F. Baird. A total of 54 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Pola during the first Austrian expedition to the Northern part of the Red Sea (1895-1896)

The paper presents an outline of the first Austrian expedition to the Northern part of the Red Sea with the R/V Pola.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Tokaidaigaku Maru II Cruise GDP-11 stations

The eleventh research cruise of Japanese Geodynamics Project in the West Pacific was carried out by the R/V Tokaidaigaku-maru II in August, 1974. During this cruise, in which the authors participated, many traverses of echo sounding and seismic reflection profiling and frequent sampling of bottom sediments were undertaken.

Annotated record and radium content of the detailed examination of manganese nodules from lakes in Karelia, Russia

The radioactivity of bottom sediments has been but little investigated. Data published by Joly, Pettersson, Piggot and Iimori refer to determinations of radium, contained mainly in oceanic deep-water sediments in red clays, radiolarian, globigerina oozes, blue muds and manganese concretions. The determinations have shown the manganese concretions to be richest as regards content of radium (up to 10-8 per cent); red clays and radiolarian ooze also possess a rather high content of radium. Other types of sediments are less rich in radium.
