Manheim, F.T., Lane-Bostwick, C.M., 1989, Chemical composition of ferromanganese crusts in the world ocean: A review and comprehensive database: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 89-020.
Unfortunately, some of the attributes or their enumerated domains were not adequately described in either place.
U.S. Geological Survey. Please recognize the U.S. Geological Survey as the originator of the dataset.
The purpose of this dataset is to release the information contained in Appendix A (excluding A9) and Appendix B from USGS Open-File Report 89-020 in a GIS compatible format. These data contain station location information to be used with the analysis information of the chemical composition of ferromanganese crusts in the world oceans. The digital files actually have more columns of information relative to the tables published in OFR 89-020.
Online Links:
All corresponding sample data other than the NGDC data listed in Table 11. are stored in the file called ussamp.sta. There are some sample records that do not have chemical analyses associated with them. They include dredges were there was no recovery, camera stations and physical oceanographic stations (Multisonde) where physical properties of the water column were taken on the German/US MIDPAC cruises.
