Manganese Nodule 48.2 grams [1576]

This manganese nodule is 48.2 grams and is from the Clarion Clipperton fracture zone.

Size: 54mm L X 42mm W X 28mm D. This polymetallic nodule ships in a perky protective case with a Certificate of Authenticity, tag, tag stand and information about the specimen. Cube and plexiglass base are not included.

Rare metals and important elements have been found in manganese nodules discovered on various ocean floor systems throughout the world. The following elements have been demonstrated to be present, many of them strategic elements of industry. They include: manganese, iron, silicon, aluminum, nickel, copper, cobalt, oxygen, hydrogen, barium, potassium, titanium, rare earths, tellurium and a more. The estimated age of these nodules is approximately 2.5 million years old.

Our manganese nodules were obtained in a scientific materials trade with a major university.

A professional XRF elemental assay metallurgical laboratory printout analysis is included with this order. The XRF analysis is consistent with other manganese nodules coming from this region.

Definitely a great addition to any scientific collection!
