From: Significant contribution of subseafloor microparticles to the global manganese budget

Number of microparticles in sediment samples. a Depth profiles of numbers of Mn-microparticles in pelagic oxic sediment samples from the South Pacific Gyre. b Depth profiles of numbers of clay microparticles in anoxic sediment samples from the South Pacific and continental margin. In a and b, colored triangles indicate Mn-microparticles, colored squares denote clay-microparticles, and colored diamonds indicate calcareous ooze samples without microparticles
