ON MINERALOGY OF FERROMANGANESIAN BUILDS­UP IN THE INDIAN OCEAN 

Purpose. Additional study and refinement of data on the mineralogy of ferromanganese nodules. 

Methods. Powder X­ray diffractometry. 

Findings. Data on the mineral composition and structure of oceanic ferromanganese formations. 

Originality. It has been established that the main mineral of iron­manganese crusts of the Indian Ocean  is vernadite, which reflects their hydrogenogenic nature. 

Practical implications. It is shown that the mineral composition of oceanic ferromanganese formations reflects their genesis and can serve as a criterion for assessing the quality of this new type of mineral raw materials. 

Key words: manganese mineral phase, genesis, ocean sediment genesis.
