Description:

Abstract:

Ferromanganese nodules and other ferromanganese coated rocks were collected using a box core from the Samoa Basin, during USGS field activity 2026-604-FA. These mineral samples were described and subsampled for geochemical analysis at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Geochemical analyses were completed by an outside commercial laboratory, and the results were provided to the USGS. Geochemical data, sample type and size range, as well as location information (latitude, longitude, depth) for each sample are provided here. The abundance of ferromanganese minerals in each box core sample, in units of kilograms per square meter of seafloor, is included in a separate part of this data release.

Purpose:

These data serve to expand the knowledge and statistics for seabed mineral occurrences and composition within the global ocean. The expedition 2026-604-FA was the third leg of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's American Samoa Abyssal Mapping effort, OPR-T900-KR-26. The USGS effort was supported in part by Interagency Agreement M20PG00028 between the USGS and the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Certified reference materials, including NOD-A-1 (Atlantic Ocean Mn Nodule), NOD-P-1 (Pacific Ocean Mn Nodule), FeMn-1 (Peru Basin Mn Nodule) were measured for all reported elements. The average relative percent difference (RPD) between measured and certified concentrations was 10-20 percent for Se (ICP_MS_4ACID), In, Cr, TI, and Te. Higher average RPDs were observed for Na (30 percent) and K (36 percent). Average RPDs for all other elements were <10 percent. Analytical and procedural duplicate measurements were made for all analytical techniques. The average RPD between duplicate measurements was 10-20 percent for TI, In, Ge, Cl, and Ag. Higher average RPDs were observed for Hg (35 percent) and I (54 percent). Average RPDs for all other elements were <10 percent. The instruments and techniques used to generate geochemical data are included in the data table and also summarized below in the Source Citations since data were generated by commercial laboratories. 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. Values of -9999 indicate that no analysis was performed.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

The sum of all element concentrations, in units of parts per million, was calculated to ensure the total did not exceed 1,000,000.

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.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Ferromanganese nodules and ferromanganese coated rocks were collected from the Samoa Basin during the U.S. Geological Survey's 2026 American Samoa box coring effort (2026-604-FA). Ferromanganese nodules and ferromanganese coated rock samples were collected from the seabed using an Ocean Instruments BX-750 Box Corer deployed from the M/V Ocean Guardian. An AML Oceanographic CTD (conductivity temperature depth) and Kongsberg MiniS 37 -40V Ti transponder were mounted to the frame of the box core to determine the depth and location of each seafloor sample.

Process_Date: 20260428

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Top water was removed from the box core using a peristaltic pump and tubing, then a photograph of the box core surface was captured. All Box Core Sample Photos are available online through NOAA at https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/mineral-samples/2026-nv5-american-samoa/.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Box Core Sample Photos
Process_Date: 20260428

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Surface ferromanganese nodules and ferromanganese coated rocks were immediately removed from the box core after top water removal and box core surface photography, then transferred to a laboratory van. Buried ferromanganese nodules were recovered from four box cores (BX03, BX32, BX33, BX36) during subcoring (collection of push cores), push core processing, or by hand-searching the remaining sediment after subcores were removed. The sediment depth in these four box core samples ranged from 34-40 centimeters. Excess sediment was removed by rinsing the mineral samples with filtered seawater. Samples were air-dried, packaged in bubble wrap, stored at room temperature, then shipped to the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) for processing.

Process_Date: 20260428

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Ferromanganese nodules and ferromanganese coated rock samples were photographed and described, then bulk portions were crushed to a powder using a ceramic-lined grinding container and Shatterbox, or by hand using an agate mortar and pestle. A portion of each sample analyzed for this data release is archived in the Global Seabed Mineral Resources rock collection at PCMSC. Bulk mineral powders were sent to ActLabs for geochemical analysis.

Process_Date: 20260505

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

ActLabs dried mineral powder samples overnight in a 40 degree Celsius oven, then hand pulverized powders with an agate mortar and pestle to 105 microns. The water content (H2O-) was measured for each dried and pulverized sample using gravimetric analysis, and this value was used to normalize element concentrations by sorbed water content. Geochemical analysis was performed on dried and pulverized samples. Method details for each reported element are included as attributes in this data release.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: geochemistry
Process_Date: 20260529

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The sorbed water content (H2O-) measured by gravimetric analysis in dried and pulverized powder samples was used to normalize element concentrations in each sample to sorbed-water-free values using the following formula: water normalized = [raw element concentration]/[(100 - weight percent water)/100]. Weight percent water in dried and pulverized powders ranged from 4.2 to 9.6 percent in samples, and 0.4 to 6.1 percent in certified reference materials.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: geochemistry
Process_Date: 20260529

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The location of the box core on the seafloor was determined from the deepest ultra-short baseline (USBL) location (BX06 and BX28) or by calculating the midpoint latitude and longitude of the deepest measured USBL coordinates from the up and down cast of each box core. Only downcast USBL data was available for BX06 and only upcast USBL data was available for BX28. Box core samples BX 03-05, 17, and 25 did not have functioning USBL data; the location of the surface vessel at the time the box core made contact with the seafloor is reported instead. The water depth of each box core sample was determined by extracting the deepest measured depth value from the box core CTD data and correcting this depth for the mounted height of the CTD (2 meters from the base of the box core).

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

This dataset contains one comma separated values (CSV) file (2026-604-FA_NoduleGeochemistry.csv) describing sample and positional information, geochemical analyses results, measurement detection limits, and methods. The first line of the csv file is a header line. The abundance of ferromanganese minerals in each box core sample, in units of kilograms per square meter of seafloor, is included in a separate part of this data release.
