COMMENTS
Every element > 7 must be in A000101 too (consider the derivatives of x/log(x) to prove this), but not conversely. The sequence is infinite since lim sup (length of n-th prime gap/log(n-th prime)) is infinite, proved by Westzynthius, see Ribenboim.

FORMULA
A prime p belongs to the sequence iff p/log(p) - q/log(q) attains a new high, where q is the preceding prime.
EXAMPLE
541 is okay since 541/log(541) - 523/log(523) = 2.4108.. was not reached by smaller primes
