The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The type species Nyasasaurus parringtoni was first described in 1956 in the doctoral thesis of English paleontologist Alan J. Charig, but it was not formally described until 2013.
- Previously, the oldest record of dinosaurs was from Brazil and Argentina and dated back to the mid-late Carnian stage, about 233.23 to 231.4 million years ago.
- Nyasasaurus comes from a deposit conventionally considered Anisian in age, meaning that it would predate other early dinosaurs by about 12 million years.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Nyasasaurus article was read about 42,000 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 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
