he forty-first cruise of Glomar Challenger was devoted to the study of the evolution of the eastern basins of the North Atlantic, off the continental margin of West Africa. As the available data a the time was showing that most litho-stratigraphic units in the deep basins of the Atlantic had enough lateral extension, the drilling of a limited number of sites in key areas would allow for large-scale regional interpretation. One of the sites was loacted in the Cape Verde deep Basin (Site 367) while others were located in shallower waters such as, the Sierra Leone Rise (Site 366), the Cape Verde Rise (Site 368) or the Continental Slope off Spanish Sahara (Site 369). ... : 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1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions.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. ...
