The rings are supposed to have been a moon, too. Squashed and destroyed and dispersed it is not hard to imagine that a good half of Saturn moons derive from his rings. Wild? yes. But a real surprise is the amount not really.

@enigma @AccordionBruce yeah. Their origins are fascinating. I love astronomy.
