Abstract:
The area surveyed during project AMC-11-67 was the portion of the Blake Plateau between latitude 30°00'N and 33°00'N and between the 100 to 1000 fathom curves. The survey was conducted from 3 October until 18 October 1967. Survey operations included dredgings, camera and multi-sensor lowerings. A collection of manganese and phosphate concretions as well as coral and sediment samples were examined by the ESSA(NOAA) Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratories. Chemical analyses were conducted at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston by Richard A. Laidley for X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis and H. Costello for Atomic Absorption Analysis. Later the whole collection of samples was transferred to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History were it is available for study (see, http://mineralsciences.si.edu/collections.htm).

Comment:
This data belongs to: Grant, J. B., Laidley, R. A. and H. Costello 1968. Chemical analysis of manganese nodules retrieved during expedition AMC-11-67 of the USC&GSS Discoverer (Unpublished).
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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.
