In: Veevers, J.J.; Heirtzler, J.R.; et al., Initial Reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, Initial Reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, U.S. Government Printing Office, XXVII, 1001-1047, https://doi.org/10.2973/dsdp.proc.27.148.1974

    Description: During Leg 27 five sites were drilled in the eastern Indian Ocean, four in abyssal plains near the western margin of Australia and one in the Timor Trough. Abyssal plain sediments are divided into two major units: (1) a lower, acoustically transparent layer of relatively uniform thickness draped over basaltic basement and (2) a horizontally layered sequence of highly variable thickness filling low areas on the surface of the transparent layer. The transparent layer, ranging in age from Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous, consists chiefly of dark gray, siliceous clays and claystones with minor zeolitic clay and nannofossil ooze. Sedimentation rates are between 5 and 30 m/m.y. being highest in the Lower Cretaceous. Upper Cretaceous sediment are sparse or absent. The relatively high sedimentation rates for pelagic clay are probably due to the proximity of the Australian continent. The layered unit consists of calcareous oozes and lesser zeolitic clay and radiolarian ooze, all of Cenozoic age. Many of the oozes contain shallow-water foraminifers and graded sequences suggesting deposition by mass transport.

    In:  Supplement to: Amos, A F; Garside, Christopher; Gerard, Robert D; Levitus, Sydney; Malone, T C; Paul, Allen Z; Roels, Oswald A (1973): Study of the impact of manganese nodule mining on the seabed and water column. In: Phase I Report - Inter-University Program of Research on Ferromanganese Deposits of the Ocean Floor.

    Publication Date: 2023-08-28
    Description: he proposed mining of ferromanganese deposits from the deep sea will affect benthic and pelagic environments depending to a great extent on the method of nodule retrieval and separation. Three basic deep-ocean mining systems have been proposed, each of which will effect the removal under varying conditions of water, sediment and nodules from the ocean floor. This report summarizes existing oceanographhic information on potential manganese nodule mining areas at the date of publication and presents the results of field observations in a manganese nodule area of the North Atlantic Ocean surveyed during Cruise 15 of the R/V Robert Conrad.
