The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Absolute geochronology can be accomplished through radioactive isotopes, whereas relative geochronology is provided by tools such as paleomagnetism and stable isotope ratios.
- By combining multiple geochronological indicators the precision of the recovered age can be improved.
- Geochronology is different in application from biostratigraphy, which is the science of assigning sedimentary rocks to a known geological period via describing, cataloging and comparing fossil floral and faunal assemblages.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geochronology article was read about 26,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Geochronology
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.
