[16:50:11] cladorhizidae? [16:50:39] I think so re: the sponge - looks like it to us , btu what is the iron rings? [16:51:07] product of iron rich east coast clay? [16:51:44] Could be some kind of sedimentary inclusion - we sometimes observe hematite (iron oxide) concentrations in sedimentary features. Often called "blueberries" due to their shape. They look very similar to what we're seeing here but I'm not familiar with the submarine equivalent. [16:51:55] Oh Jason is back, he will have a better answer. [16:52:01] I hope. [16:52:37] Jason - what was that!? [16:52:39] christarabenold leaves the room [16:52:41] thanks Thomas [16:52:50] I don't know...aliens? :-) [16:53:05] i'm not broadcasting that Jsaon [16:53:11] LAT : 38.983618 , LON : -72.493596 , DEPTH : 1760.2112 m, TEMP : 3.61319 C, SAL : 34.96114 PSU, DO : 8.31954 mg/l [16:53:24] another possiblity...it may be normal glass sponges. I have collected very tiny glass sponges.. [16:55:28] interesting [16:55:29] I just caught the last bit, but it was either Fe-encrustation of the inside of one of the bioerosion cavities, an accumulation of iron-rich sediment, a concretion that was exposed, or perhaps, one of the tube features with iron precipitation that we are still trying to figure out [16:57:02] or aliens [16:57:09] nope [16:57:46] everything is an alien down here :) [16:58:08] under reducing environment conditions, the ferric/ferrous mineral goethite can form a crust upon calcium carbonate rock. possible here [16:58:11] LAT : 38.983572 , LON : -72.493597 , DEPTH : 1753.1833 m, TEMP : 3.59615 C, SAL : 34.9577 PSU, DO : 8.30917 mg/l [16:58:17] We are the aliens down here [16:59:26] @ken, why would the deposit be so localized? If it was a precipitate crust, wouldn't we expect it over a broad area? [16:59:48] it needs to be stable for an extended period [16:59:57] the accumulation rates are very slow [17:03:12] LAT : 38.983632 , LON : -72.493615 , DEPTH : 1752.2968 m, TEMP : 3.61319 C, SAL : 34.95689 PSU, DO : 8.32194 mg/l [17:03:33] You see this in the eastern Gulf of Mexico where originally carbonate core plates and nodules get thickly encrusted with ferric/ous oxide geothite. It seems that the local environment alternates between chemo seep reducing conditions and more well oxygenated conditions. Do not know how this could be so localized, maybe via perculation??
