ABSTRACT
For the time period from 1.5 to 4 Myr before the present we found in deep ocean ferromanganese crusts a ^{53}Mn excess concentration in terms of ^{53}Mn/Mn of about 4×10^{-14} over that expected for cosmogenic production. We conclude that this ^{53}Mn is of supernova origin because it is detected in the same time window, about 2.5 Myr ago, where ^{60}Fe has been found earlier. This overabundance confirms the supernova origin of that ^{60}Fe. For the first time, supernova-formed ^{53}Mn has been detected and it is the second positively identified radioisotope from the same supernova. The ratio ^{53}Mn/^{60}Fe of about 14 is consistent with that expected for a SN with a 11-25 M_{â} progenitor mass and solar metallicity.
