Manganese Nodule Clarion-Clipperton 66 gm

Manganese Nodule Specimen (CCFZ) 66 gm

This manganese nodule specimen is sourced directly from the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ). The images displayed show the front and back of the nodule, showcasing its unique characteristics. With an above-average density compared to typical manganese nodules, this specimen is an interesting deep ocean geological wonder.

About Manganese Nodules

Manganese nodules are abundant mineral resources found on the ocean floor, consisting primarily of manganese minerals. These nodules vary in size, shape, and form, making each one a distinct addition to any collection.

Collection Site: Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, Pacific Ocean floor

Specifications

• Size: 39mm L x 30mm W x 29mm D
• Weight: 66 grams

Composition

Manganese nodules are known for their diverse elemental composition. In addition to manganese, they contain strategic elements such as iron, silicon, aluminum, nickel, copper, cobalt, oxygen, hydrogen, barium, potassium, titanium, rare earths, and tellurium. These elements make them valuable not only for collectors but also for research and industrial applications.

Detailed Images

Images include a sliced, polished interior of a similar manganese nodule, taken at 10x and 40x magnification, allowing you to appreciate the intricate formation details of these unique nodules.
