Traditionally, marine precipitates are defined as: a) purely hydrogenetic when all constituents are derived from cold seawater, (b) diagenetic, when all constituents are derived from cold sediment pore water; and (c) hydrothermal when precipitation occurs in the vicinity of hydrothermal vent sites from fluids with temperatures higher than ambient bottom waters. Hydrogenetic Fe-Mn crusts occur throughout the global ocean on seamounts, ridges and plateaus, where currents have kept the rocks free of sediment for millions of years. Some ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts exhibit a mixed origin, primarily either hydrothermal-hydrogenetic or hydrogenetic-diagenetic (Hein et al., 2000; 2003; 2013; Muiños et al. 2013; Bau et al., 2014; Marino et al., 2017). In many places, marine phosphorites are accompanied by Fe-Mn crust mineralisations on the seafloor of continental shelves and slopes along the western continental margins of the Atlantic Ocean. Some thick Fe-Mn crusts also contain carbonate fluorapatite, which was incorporated into the crusts during specific periods prior to middle Miocene during main Cenozoic episodes of phosphatization. These deposits are related to strong upwelling along the continental margins and seamounts. Marine phosphorites are known to concentrate rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) during early diagenetic formation (Hein et al., 1993; 2016; González et al., 2016). Although there are several references to ferromanganese crusts and their association with phosphorites in the literature, the genetic models for explaining their relationship and metal concentration are still poorly understood. Characterise the deposit type (ferromanganese crusts or phophorites) by compiling relevant data on the classification, geological setting, terrain, age, mineralogical and chemical composition, morphology, textural types, and other controlling parameters. • Characterize the trace element content of the deposit type including Critical Raw Materials (CRM) for base, noble and technological metals. Study controlling factors on the occurrence of CRM. • Identify the principal metallogenic provinces where such deposits occur, taking into account spatial and temporal attributes, and provide models of formation. • Develop harmonized mineral maps and datasets of ferromanganese crusts and phosphorites incorporating GSO datasets (geophysics or samples geochemistry), along with mineral-potential and prospectivity maps. Settings and locations of marine minerals on the EU´s Critical Raw materials list. • Demonstrate how the case study results can be used in mineral exploration Javier Gonzalez Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) +34-91-3495864 Instituto Geológico y Minero de España C/ Ríos Rosas 28003 Spain fj.gonzales@igme.es https://igme-es.academia.edu/FJavierGonzálezSanz principalInvestigator asNeeded Sea regions theme GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication European theme Spatial scope 2019-05-22 publication mineral occurrence manganese iron cobalt nickel platinum tellurium copper rare earth element theme GeoERA Keyword Thesaurus 2020-01-01 publication MINDeSEA theme European Geoscience Registry - Projects 2020-01-01 publication Mineral resources discipline INSPIRE theme register 2013-11-06 publication earth science discipline GEMET - Themes, version 4.1.4, 13 Feb 2020 2020-02-13 revision geology discipline GEMET - Themes, version 4.1.4, 13 Feb 2020 2020-02-13 revision marine geology place GEMET - Themes, version 4.1.4, 13 Feb 2020 2020-02-13 revision Atlantic Ocean place SeaDataNet sea areas 1953-12-31 publication North Atlantic Ocean place SeaDataNet sea areas 1953-12-31 publication North East Atlantic Ocean (limit 40W) place SeaDataNet sea areas 1953-12-31 publication Mediterranean Sea place SeaDataNet sea areas 1953-12-31 publication Baltic Sea place SeaDataNet sea areas 1953-12-31 publication Norwegian Sea place SeaDataNet sea areas 1953-12-31 publication Europe stratum DBpedia 2020-04-17 publication lithosphere stratum EIONET - themes, version 4.1.4, 2020-02-13 2020-02-13 revision hydrosphere theme EIONET - themes, version 4.1.4, 2020-02-13 2020-02-13 revision Instituto Geológico y Minero de España theme DBpedia 2019-09-18 revision Geological Survey Ireland temporal DBpedia 2020-04-08 revision 2020 temporal DBpedia 2020-06-04 revision otherRestrictions no conditions apply otherRestrictions no limitations to public access vector 230000 eng environment geoscientificInformation oceans -33.2252780002794 58.4747260001049 23.8820000000001 82.4661170002994 1954-01-01 2019-12-31 300 4764 ESRI Shapefile 10.x https://geoera.eu/projects/mindesea2/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link MINDeSEA Website Project website information https://maps.europe-geology.eu/?mapname=geoera_mindesea#layers=Ferro Manganese Crusts WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link EGDI platform information https://maps.europe-geology.eu/wms/?layers=Ferro+Manganese+Crusts&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&format=image%2Fpng&width=1700&height=900&srs=epsg%3A4326&bbox=-40%2C40%2C40%2C80&request=GetMap OGC:WMS WMS information https://maps.europe-geology.eu/wfs/?typenames=Ferro+Manganese+Crusts&service=WFS&version=1.0.0&mapname=&request=DescribeFeatureType&maxfeatures=10 OGC:WFS WFS download COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 See referenced specification true Data modeling used D2.8.III.21 Data Specification on Mineral resources - Technical Guidelines to generate data schema for Ferro-manganese Crusts data produced by EMODnet Geology WP7 Minerals and MINDeSEA WP8 Link to Information Plaform for MINDeSEA WP4 Ferro-manganese crusts, phosphorites and Critical Raw Materials.
