The archaeological world is always making new discoveries, and today is no exception. A team in Northern Mexico have found a 72-million-year-old dinosaur tail in a desert!
The tail is 5 meters (16 feet) tall and is the first of its kind to be found in Mexico! The team says it’s very well preserved, as well. It’s been identified to be the tail of a hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur. A picture of it is shown below.
Other fossilized bones including the dino’s hips were found scattered around and near the tail. It’s likely that the tail made up half of the entire animal’s length!
The tail has been transferred to General Cepeda for more cleaning and investigation.
