It has been exposed to 336 hours of continuous unfiltered sunlight each lunar day for the past 40+ years. That’s can’t be good for the plastic. The poo is probably dedicated, but I don’t think it’d be fossilized, in the sense of biological material replaced with stone, I don’t think the moon is geologically active enough for that to happen.

Is there… a word… for… ‘exposed to the void of space for a prolonged period of time’? Yeah I know fossilized isn’t the right word, as thats generally a process that requires water… but i dont know how to say ‘space fossilized’. Dehydrated and Irradiated … ?

I think the poop bags were mainly stowed into lockers on the sides of the descent module. They’re not just piled up on the ground.
