Recently, results of a (p,t) experiment revealed 13 excited 0+ states below 3.2MeV in 158Gd. Such data provide a challenge to theory. We show calculations with the geometric collective model and the interacting boson approximation model that may account for many of these 0+ states. The calculations suggest that many of the 0+ states may be of two-phonon octupole character.
