Chemical composition of ferromanganese crusts and manganese nodules from the Indian and Southern Ocean ...
Excess 230Th dominates the alpha activity of the surface regions of manganese nodules and deep sea sediments. If uranium series eguilibrium is maintained, total alpha activity depth profiles should be as useful in determining sedimentation rates as are 230Th measurements. We have used cellulose nitr...
