Manganese nodules collected off Baja California have layers (zones) which are texturally and compositionally distinct. Massive and mottled zones consist mostly of cryptocrystalline todorokite and birnessite containing relatively high concentrations of Mn, Ni and Cu. Compact, columnar and laminated z...
