Actually, I got the sense that the derelict was quite far from the colony.
If so, it probably would have survived the explosion pretty much intact. 40
megatons is a big blast, but not big enough to destroy large, solid
structures hundreds of miles away.

Yeah, it wasn't destroyed. That's just one of those topics that would have been
in the FAQ if we had one. :)

I know! Time travel!

Make a movie, that fits in between Aliens and A3, where Ripley mysteriously
wakes up from hypersleep and sees a time/continuum gateway (or a DeLorean)
onboard the sulaco, steps through it and gets transported back in time and to
the originating planet of the SJ!

Whoooa! The movie ideaq of the century!

Who knows how long fossilisation takes on a planet with that kind of
atmosphere :-P

Nice use of quote indentation, BTW.
