A type of manganese oxide mineral; a mineral species found in geological formations, named after a mineralogist or discoverer.
Named after a person with the surname Fowler (likely a 19th-century mineralogist), following the standard convention of naming minerals after discoverers or prominent scientists, with the suffix '-ite'.
Hundreds of minerals are named after obscure scientists—fowlerite is so rare that even geologists rarely encounter it, but it gets an immortal name in scientific classification.
