Abstract
To understand the behavior of manganese in diagenetic processes in sediments of an enclosed bay which is similar to those of an estuary, chemical analyses have been carried out on both sediment and interstitial water of a core sample collected from Tokyo Bay. The results suggest that redistribution of manganese takes place within the sediment as a result of the dissolution of buried manganese oxides and hydroxides under reducing condition, the downward diffusion of Mn2+ through the interstitial water toward lower layers and then the precipitation of carbonate. The carbonate formed in the sediment contains managanese carbonate probably as a solid solution between calcitic calcium carbonate and manganese carbonate.
