title: Burial rates, growth rates, and size distributions of deep-sea manganese nodules.
abstract: The size distributions of deep-sea manganese nodules are consistent with a simple model of uniform growth at a few millimeters per million years and with the same probability of burial for all nodules, regardless of size. The model suggests that most nodules spend 1 million years or less on the sea floor.
