Summary

Description
English: The nodule is zoned with alternating Fe-rich and Mn-rich bands. Fe is speciated as two-line ferrihydrite and Mn as turbostratic birnessite (vernadite). The growth rate is approximately 10-20 microns/year.

Zn concentration is highest in the surface layers, which is a signature of anthropogenic input.

Zn is coded as red, Mn as green, and Fe as blue.
