Abstract:
Fifty-five rock fragments and pebbles were dredged at 2,550-2,800 fathoms (4,650-5,100 metres) near Jimmu Seamount, 700 miles southeast of Kamchatka. Tuffaceous shale, andesitic and dacitic tuff, pyroxene-hornblende dacite-pumice, and augite-hypersthene andesite are the most abundant rock types. Minor constituents in the haul include augite-pigeonite basalt, augite-olivine basalt, olivine dolerite, quartz syenite porphyry, metabasalt, sandstone, and chert. Petrographic and chemical analyses indicate closer affinities with Kuril Islands and Kamchatka volcanic rocks than with Cenozoic Japanese or Pacific Basin types. Probably these rocks were dropped by Pleistocene icebergs carried south and east by ocean currents.

Comment:
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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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.
