Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (14.4% 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: 14.4% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 14.4% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 260K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 49.0% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

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.
Too warm for nitrogen and methane frost and too small to hold them as an atmosphere: those ices escaped to space, leaving water ice.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).

Habitability
✓ Conditions could support lifeThis planet’s modelled conditions could support biological processes: stable temperatures, liquid water and the chemistry life as we know it needs. That makes life possible, not present.
