(Table 1, page 1124), Chemical composition of Lake Michigan manganese nodules

Manganese nodules containing up to 22 percent manganese oxide were found in Green Bay and the western and northern parts of Lake Michigan. The chemical composition of these nodules resembles that of shallow-water lacustrine and marine nodules. The manganese content of interstitial water is in some places enriched as much as 4000 times over that of lake water.
