Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from seventh cruise of the Carnegie (1928-1929)

The Carnegie, on its seventh cruise and last cruise, collected seventy-five samples of deep-sea deposits in the southeastern and the north Pacific. This report contains an account of the general character of the deep-sea samples collected and of the distribution of the various deposit types, together with the results of chemical, mechanical, X-ray, and other types of analyses. As indicated in the text, many of the analyses were carried out in whole or in part by other investigators.

Annotated record of the Fe-Mn concretions recovered in the Kara sea during the M. Gorkiy survey in 1945

The Kara scientific expedition of 1945, using the fishing trawler M. Gorkiy and survey vessel Osetr, took sediment samples in the Kara Sea in addition to other oceanographic work. The investigations of sediments composition was compared with biological and hydrological data obtained in the same areas. The sediments sampled were subjected to mechanical, mineralogical, chemical and faunistic analyses. During this survey iron-manganese concretions were recovered.
