Taking advantage of the recent development of Raman Microprobe (RMP) and Infrared Reflection Spectroscopy (IRS) techniques, we report the mineralogical composition of iron-manganese concretions/nodules from the oceanic bottom of Pacific (Clarion Clipperton Zone) and Indian (Western Australian Basin) Oceans. The research shows the benefits of the combined use of RMP and IRS in the analysis of iron-manganese nodules (~ 0.5-5.0 cm in diameter) to obtain some information about the mineralogical composition of these specific nodules.
