| Summary: | The determinations of the radioactivity of a series of ferro-manganese concretions of the seas and lakes of the U.S.S.R. (especially of the Kara Sea and lakes of Karelia) have brought out certain facts which make possible the determination of the age of the concretions by the content of radium in its different layers. ... : 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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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. ... |
