I read an article last night about this. It's so cool how there are so many new discoveries in an age where it feels like everything has been invented, redone, and dug up.
Looking forward to seeing more research articles about it.
Thanks for posting, Matt

Cool ! But leave it to geologist to name it nerdy they could have at least a called it putzinite I agree with your assessment, but they used the last name of the discoverers and added "ite" to the end which is very common. We are still waiting to see some Mohsite that has a better ring to it than "Putnisite", eh?
