mundane sources can produce fullerenes: forest fires, for example, or mass
spectrometers (i.e., the tool used to find and separate them can apparently
generate them as well... URK!).
Hey!
Watch what you call "mundane", Buster! You, who probably might enjoy
some studies theropod hairballs (what was for dinner!) in your
copious free time......
I'll have you know that paleowildfires produce rather nice fullerenes
that probably don't consider themselves to be mundane. ;^)
