Talk:Manganese nodule

There was an article on the mining of deep ocean manganese nodules at Metal mining, I merged and redirected it into this article. The mining section needs to become a little stronger integrated but actually isn't bad. RJFJR 03:11, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

There is a reference to the effect that the nodules were first discovered in 1803, not 1868: http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/Earthscience/Oceanography/OceanSediments/Manganesenodules/Manganesenodules.htm

Is this source credible? If so I'd like to update the page to reflect this.

Proposed merge
Ferromanganese nodules appears to be a synonym for polymetallic or manganese nodules. Multiple reliable sources support this, eg.. Hence I propose to merge Ferromanganese nodules into this article. Lithopsian (talk) 17:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * agreed. Support merging as ferromanganese nodules seems to be a class of manganese nodules with a certain mineral or trace metal composition. RFZYN SPY  talk 06:19, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
