Description:

Abstract:

Hydrothermal manganese oxide rocks were collected via dredge from the Tulaga Seamount, the flank of Ofu Island, and from Soso seamount in the Samoa hotspot region offshore American Samoa during the KM0506 cruise aboard the R/V Kilo Moana in April of 2005. Rocks were subsampled at USGS and sent to SGS laboratories, Canada for major and trace element geochemistry. Major and trace element concentrations and thickness for the hydrothermal manganese oxides as well as location information (latitude, longitude, depth) for samples are provided here. This data release is comprised of legacy samples that have not been previously published. We acknowledge the National Science Foundation for funding cruise KM0506 during which these rocks were collected (Grant OCE-0351437).

Purpose:

These data serve to expand the knowledge and statistics for deep ocean seabed mineral occurrences and their composition throughout the global ocean.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

All geochemistry data were calibrated against certified reference materials by SGS Minerals Laboratory as part of their standard protocols. The instruments and techniques used to generate the geochemical data are included in the data table. Limits for each analyte's detection by an instrument are reported in the table. The value -8888 indicates that the measurement for an analyte was below the detection limit. Reproducibility as percent difference is better than 5 percent for most elements except Pr, Sm, Se, Hf, Pb, Ta, Te, Eu, 5 to 9 percent, Ba, Dy, Sn, 11 to 13 percent, Ho, Sc, U, Ag, 17 to 22 percent, Tm 25 percent, and Er 29 percent. Values of -9999 for concentration attributes indicate that no analysis was performed. Values of Nan for Sample Depth interval attributes indicate that this measurement is not applicable for the given sample.

Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted.
Completeness_Report:

Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the dataset has not been conducted. The horizontal accuracy was determined with the ship's GPS navigation, which is accurate to less than 5 m.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The singular value for water depth for each sample was calculated from shipboard dredge log records to account for ship-based depth soundings, the length of dredge wire out, movement by the ship, approximate seamount slope, and multiple bites of the dredge along each dredge track in order to maximize location accuracy. A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the dataset has not been conducted.

Process_Description:

Rock samples were collected via dredge on R/V Kilo Moana from Samoa hotspot region and shipped to USGS scientists by mail after returning to shore.

Process_Date: 20050405

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

At the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center Marine Minerals Lab, bulk portions, individual layers, or other parts of rock sample were subsampled using a ceramic knife and then ground using an agate mortar and pestle to approximately 75 micrometer fineness. Powdered samples were then sent by USGS to commercial analytical labs, SGS Mineral Laboratory. See Source Citations for information on geochemical techniques.
