Manganese nodules, micronodules, and crusts were encountered in surface sediments, and at depth, in 6 of the 10 sites drilled during DSDP Leg 29 south of New Zealand and Tasmania. Major concentrations of surface nodule pavements occur on and adjacent to the Campbell Plateau south of New Zealand, sou...
