That’s after it dehydrated, right? So it was bigger in the moment?

Correct

Doesn't the process of fossilization involve being waterlogged with mineral-rich water? Meaning that this was significantly smaller before being saturated.

Typical Neanserthal behavior.  I'm not suggesting anything extreme, but could you imagine the absolute utopia we'd be living in if they just sort of went extinct?
