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

Resumen

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.
