The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It uses the rock record together with the principles of chronostratigraphy to place rock sequences into their relative age positions, and geochronology techniques, such as radiometric dating, to precisely date the boundaries between them.
- It is used primarily by Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events in geologic history.
- The time scale has been developed through the study of rock layers and the observation of their relationships and identifying features such as lithologies, paleomagnetic properties, and fossils.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geologic time scale article was read about 570,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 92 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
How to get Geologic time scale
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.
