ferromanganese nodules
 |
| This bedding surface
in micritic limestones shows numerous small, concentrically layered
brown concretions. These are interpreted as ferromanganese nodules which
formed in a similar way to those found on modern deep ocean floors. See Tucker, M E. - Ferromanganese nodules from the Devonian of the Montagne Noire (S. France) and West Germany, Geologische Rundschau (1973) |
