The element Titotium (Tt) was recently discovered in a remote village in Mexico. Tt is composed of two naturally occurring isotopes: 295Tt and 301Tt, with atomic masses of 294.969 and 301.002 g/mol respectively.  295Tt is the most common isotope, with a natural abundance of 63.84%.  Which entry below should be used when Titotium is added to the Periodic Table later this year?
