Paleogene ichthyoliths from the substrates of ferromanganese encrustations and nuclei of manganese nodules from the Central Indian Basin
Abstract
Ichthyoliths, the phosphatic microscopic skeletal debris of the fishes are found in the substrates and the nuclei of ferromanganese encrustations and the nodules collected from the Central Indian Ocean Basin. About thirty subtypes of the Ichthyoliths are identified and described in the coded descriptive system for the Ichthyoliths followed by a brief description in words. The detailed study is in progress, but a tentative Paleogene age can be assigned to the material studied
