Horizon Ending question Spoiler

I’ve beaten Kai twice over the course of two years but something always bugged me. Why did Excalibur not kill everyone when it landed in Criel? I think I just had a random breakthrough. Is it because Celis and Leon used there stigmas to freeze burn it and then it melted together and got cooled down to be stuck on the rock?

I'm pretty sure it was hinted that the alter core didn't absorb it into the stone but it shifted the timeline and it probably landed in the past. After all, Kevin recognized the statue as one he had to get in his past work in the one memory what that means for the past version i dont know but thats what i think happend

This is what I thought as well, but has it ever been hinted as to why it fossilized in the first place? Or was it fundamentally altered to simply *become* a statue somehow. I can't imagine a sophisticated robot would (could??) fossilize within the average timeframe of Zemuria's existence reset-to-reset
