But they were herbivores..? The image shows bones in there

Those are the bones of its victims. Raptors dread the vom bomb

I was wondering if they were implying the force would be enough to kill smaller dinosaurs?

The idea is that the impact would have killed a little dromaeosaur

Maybe, but it's weird they drew it as nothing left but bones though

Well someone cropped the part of this image where this maths experiment was inspired by trying to figure out how a small dinosaur died in a stranger crater.

That image is an outline of the fossil millions of years later, not a drawing of puke containing bones or a dinosaur getting instantly defleshed

Clearly they threw the bones up since they're not meant to eat them
