The growth of ferromanganese (FeMn) crusts on soft substrates is uncommon. FeMn crusts generally accrete on hard-rock surfaces, where sedimentation rates are low and the rocks free of sediment cover. Here we use X-ray Powder Diffraction, Fourier Transform-Infra Red spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy,...
