Wikipedia description:
Carl Hermann Georg Credner (1 October 1841 – 21 July 1913) was a German earth scientist and the son of Carl Friedrich Heinrich Credner (usually given as Heinrich Credner). He examined the geology of Saxony and was influential in establishing Saxon geology through pioneering maps and a textbook. Credner Glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro is named after him. Geographers named Credner moraine on Spitsbergen, Credner moraine Mountains in Papua New Guinea, and Credner Waterfall in Togo after him. A manganese copper ore was, however, named after his father as crednerite while a fossil genus Credneria is named after his uncle Carl August Credner.
