The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The sedimentary structures which result are roughly horizontal units composed of inclined layers.
- The original depositional layering is tilted, such tilting not being the result of post-depositional deformation.
- Cross-beds or "sets" are the groups of inclined layers, which are known as cross-strata.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cross-bedding article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
