Metabolically induced precipitation of trace elements from sea water.

The presence of organic material in some manganese-rich nodules suggests that the nodules are of biological origin. This suggestion leads to the proposal that in sea water, heavy metals get protection from hydrolysis by organic complexing; parts of these complexes become metabolized, the remaining parts then precipitate. These processes would explain a number of interesting observations.
