About this person
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.
