MICROSCOPY AND ELECTRON MICROPROBE ANALYSIS OF SOME IRON–MANGANESE PANS FROM NEWFOUNDLAND
A number of thin iron–manganese pans from soils with peaty surface horizons have been examined with a light microscope and electron microprobe analyzer. The results show that: (1) concentrations of Fe and Mn (as oxides, hydroxides, or both) occur distinctly separated from each other even where close...
