Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (22.4% calcium/titanium/aluminum-family rock formers) instead of the silicate-iron recipe every standard rocky world uses.
Exotic terrestrials are temperate solid worlds whose geology skipped the silicate playbook - carbonate plains, titanium-gray mesas, alkali flats. They can hold air, water ingredients, and real habitability, but with no silicate continents or iron core they are their own class, not earth-likes.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Exotic rock formers: 22.4% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 11.9% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 279K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 32.3% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

Contributing Factors
water90
Good water content
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry59
Core organic elements (CHNO) present - chlorine-laced environment attacks organic molecules (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere40
Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere - breathable and protective (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Surface Characteristics
Pale mineral plains — carbonate flats, chalk mesas, and crusts no silicate world can build
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
