Large-scale shell-model calculations predict that the region of deformation which comprises the heaviest chromium and iron isotopes at and beyond $N=40$ will merge with a new one at $N=50$ in an astonishing parallel to the $N=20$ and $N=28$ case in the neon and magnesium isotopes. We propose a valence space …
