If it’s strong enough to throw an F-150, that dino is fucked. Also, we barely know what lived in upland and interior environments, so who knows what adaptations they had. Most dinosaur fossils come from lowland settings near rivers and coasts where rapid burial was likely. There are whole ecosystems we’ve basically never sampled.

This drives me crazy. Along with the fact that we’ll probably never know about the various colors and fleshy structures that these animals had.
They’ve actually started figuring out some colours believe it or not. I’ll see if I can dig it up… Edit:

There’s a decent video on that page too.
Oh I never really thought about the fossil record being sedimentary, this largely aquatic and adjacent environments.
You just do a quick laydown and tuck your head under your arms, and find a bit of dirt to hide behind.
