So maybe I’m just misremembering some of the work on other minerals like clays.

Wasn’t it first suggested as a possible organizing surface quite a few years ago?Maybe the novelty here is the idea of organizing between layers of mica, rather than on exposed mica surfaces. I’m guessing the latter is the “pizza” hypothesis.
