New class of topological crystalline insulators (TCI) have been proposed, but are yet to be experimentally evidenced. Here, the authors evidence two massless Dirac fermions protected by the combination of time-reversal symmetry T and Ĉ2y on the (010) surface of SrPb, confirming the Ĉ2 rotation anomaly in the new class of TCIs.
