Hydrothermal ferromanganese oxides around a petit-spot volcano on old and cold oceanic crust

Abstract Areas of old and cold oceanic plate lack conventional volcanism and have been assumed to be devoid of submarine hydrothermal activity. However, petit-spot volcanoes are common in areas of flexure of such oceanic plates. Here, we report hydrothermal ferromanganese oxides dredged from the vic...
