Abstract
Scanning synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis was used fo r studying base and trace element distributions in submarine Fe-Mn nod ules from the eastern tropical Pacific. The element background content s in surface layers of spherical (hydrogenous) and ellipsoidal (diagen etic) Fe-Mn nodules are measured. The concentration of elements determ ined to be in internal layers is different from that in surface layers . This suggests changes of the environment in the past.
