The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It appears in scientific social discourse, especially with respect to accelerating geophysical and biochemical changes that characterize the 20th and 21st centuries on Earth.
- Originally a proposal for a new geological epoch following the Holocene, it was rejected as such in 2024 by the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the International Union of Geological Sciences.
- The term has been used in sophisticated research relating to Earth's water and salt, geology, geomorphology, landscape, limnology, hydrology, ecosystems and climate.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Anthropocene article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
