Yep, I remember those types of graphs from grad school.
Hey, can you reply to your own post? Well, on a related matter, the YoungEarth.com/manganese post has been updated with the following. For the links, go to the YE page...2011 UPDATE

So Pastor Bob can you refer us to some crack creation scientists who can tell us how long it takes all types of nodules to form. Well, you know, in less than 6000 years. Unless of course the Big Flood ripped everything up on the deep sea bed and they are all 4000 years old or less.Hey, can you reply to your own post?

Evolutionists have a belief that these nodules form super slowly, but their belief seems to conflict with actually measurable deposition rates for ocean sediment. For ocean sediments would bury nodules as much as 1,000 times more quickly than the nodules would form. Thus millions of manganese nodules (also referred to as naturally-occurring ferromanganese), wouldn't be just sitting where they are, on the ocean floor. Also, buried nodules wouldn't be disproportionately in uppermost layers of ocean sediments, where drilling demonstrates that most nodules are in fact concentrated. From Marine Geosciences: "fast formations of ferromanganese incrustation have been also observed near ships wrecked during the First World War (Goldberg, 1958) or around motor plugs (Andrews, 1972)." Also, many nodules exist in the Great Lakes of North America.
Typical of contradictory old-earth claims, a paper in Marine Biology states that such encrustation forms "slowly... at 1 to 5 mm" per million years, yet "by a process that is poorly understood," which is essentially an admission that they don't know how quickly ferromanganese forms. So, if they don't understand the process, why claim that they can quantify the rate of the process? Industry-wide, a scientist's claim is more readily accepted by the biased old-earth community if he says that some process takes a million years. However, if nodules and other such encrustments take that long to form, just as the Texas A&M presentation above pointed out an obvious conflict, the paper states, "It remains unexplained why crusts are not overwhelmed by more rapid biological processes occurring simultaneously." Yes, unexplained. And unexplainable. Because nodules don't require millions of years to form. Regarding their formation and mining, a John Hopkins graduate student thesis states that manganese nodules seem to, "grow around shark's teeth, pieces of bone, or other previously-existing cores. Whatever their origin, they are being formed continuously at a rate which makes them effectively non-depletable."
