The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its fossils are almost worldwide-known but they are mostly common in Jurassic strata from Europe, North America, and South America.
- Gryphaea fossils are particularly important in the tectonically deformed Andean basins of Argentina and Chile and serve as index fossils.
- Gryphaea species appeared during the Late Triassic period and flourished during the Early Jurassic, eventually becoming extinct around the Late Jurassic.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gryphaea article was read about 19,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 11: each hit it takes is cut by 4 %.
