Biozone, a Common card
In biostratigraphy, biostratigraphic units or biozones are intervals of geological strata that are defined on the basis of their characteristic fossil taxa, as opposed to a lithostratigraphic unit which is defined by the lithological properties of the surrounding rock.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A biostratigraphic unit is defined by the zone fossils it contains.
- These may be a single taxon or combinations of taxa if the taxa are relatively abundant, or variations in features related to the distribution of fossils.
- The same strata may be zoned differently depending on the diagnostic criteria or fossil group chosen, so there may be several, sometimes overlapping, biostratigraphic units in the same interval.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Biozone article was read about 4,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 54 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Biozone
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
