Ferromanganese nodules are authigenic marine sediments that form over millions of years from the precipitation of Fe oxyhydroxides and Mn oxides from seawater (hydrogenetic-type growth) and sediment pore-water (diagenetic-type growth). Fe-Mn (oxyhydr)oxides grow in layers about nuclei, effectively s...
