Cobalt-rich manganese nodules in Pliocene marine deposits of the onshore forearc Pisco Basin, Peru

Sección de Ingeniería de Minas

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

Onshore manganese nodules and vein coatings were recovered from Pliocene sedimentary beds in the Pisco Basin of southern Peru. Identified manganese minerals include todorokite and cryptomelane suggesting a diagenetic origin. However, the chemical composition suggests a mixed hydrogenetic/hydrothermal – diagenetic origin probably due to modification of the geochemical conditions caused by organic matter decay. The onshore exposition of Co-rich (up to 5,080 ppm) Mn nodules in the Pisco Formation suggests a possible novel economic potential to be confirmed by further study.
