The Palaeogene substrates of ferromanganese crusts and nuclei of nodules collected from the Central Indian Basin chiefly consist of incipient to younger pelagic hard grounds and associated intraclast lag deposits. The clayey lumps, ferromanganese micronodules, crystalline aggregates of phillipsite,...
