Notes on Vent Field Description:
Han et al. (2010): "farthest west and the shallowest sulfide deposit yet reported at the SWIR", "sampling site is currently inactive, with no biota observed and no significant hydrothermal anomalies. The sulfide samples mainly consist of sphalerite, wurtzite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and secondary copper minerals", R/V Dayangyihao Cruise DY115-21, Leg 7
Notes Relevant to Biology:
Year and How Discovered (if active, visual confirmation is listed first):
