#PolymetallicNodules are mainly formed by the outward growth of sediment around the core substance (diagenesis), and their structure is complex. Nodules are granular in size: large (>6cm), medium (3cm<6cm) & small (<3cm). Color is black or brownish, related to it’s environment conditions

A new paper in Nature says that the #polymetallicnodules coveted by #deepseamining may be the source of #Deepoceanoxygen supporting abyssal ecosystems.
"...nodules sitting on the seabed could generate electric currents large enough to split, or electrolyse, molecules of seawater."

So is #darkoxygen just #polymetallicnodules doing electrolysis? Well, some folks think microbes are be involved
"...the new project would also seek to understand whether any microbial reactions played a role in dark oxygen production on the seafloor."

Scientists say they found oxygen where it shouldn't be. Now hunt is on for answers
The discovery that metallic rocks are apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean's seabed challenges the idea that oxygen can only be made from sunlight via photosynthesis.

Oxygen is generated abiotically at the abyssal seafloor in the presence of polymetallic nodules, potentially by seawater electrolysis, according to in situ chamber and ex situ incubation experiments.

This afternoon, I had a visitor from @vuamsterdam.bsky.social and we discussed a joint M.Sc. thesis project about #PolymetallicNodules. The talks were so intense, that before it, I knew which day of the week we had, but after the meeting, I thought we had Thursday instead of Friday 🫠.
