the BS about DNA preserved in ambar was just storytime BS, Michael Crichton himself repeatedly told people the same thing: that he'd made it up as plausible sounding technobabble. But it was BS because of a hard limit to the longevity of DNA in any fossilized context. Material blasted from the earth maybe including a few animal parts isn't nearly so rigidly improbable, or impossible. We know that massive amounts of ejecta went far into space, and a lot almost certainly slammed into the moon.
