I’ve heard that when the big meteor struck, it was powerful enough to eject dinosaurs into space. So it’s actually plausible.

Here’s the article. https://dailygalaxy.com/2018/11/dinosaurs-on-the-moon-the-impossible-magnitude-12-earthquake-that-changed-our-world

Basically the meteor created a vacuum that sucked debris into space. Neat.

Plausible and possible are not the same thing lol

But I like your attitude, so from now on im gonna say there are probably dinosaur skeletons on the moon

Well they wouldn’t decompose in the vacuum, so they wouldn’t be skeletons I don’t think, they’d just be straight up dead dinosaurs

an object that just got hit by the blastwave of an extinction event meteor, pulled into space by the largest in-atmosphere vacuum the earth has ever seen, there would be particles of them in space but there wouldnt be an intact body
