Rotation of a Ferromanganese Nodule in the Penrhyn Basin, South Pacific, Tracked by the Earth's Magnetic Field
Abstract Ferromanganese nodules are cm‐sized, authigenic, abyssal manganese‐iron‐hydroxide concretions. They grow very slowly at rates of a few mm per million years. Although their ages are older than millions of years, they are often found half buried on the modern sediment surface. The mechanisms...
