72 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Tail Unearthed in Nearly Perfect Condition

A dinosaur tail that's 72 million years old was discovered in a desert in Northern Mexico, according to the country's National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH). The 16-foot tail, which has 50 vertebrae, is believed to have belonged to a duck-billed dinosaur known as hadrosaur.

Palaeontologists have discovered the fossilised remains of a 72 million-year-old dinosaur tail in a desert in northern Mexico. Experts identified the creature as a hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur. The five metre tail was the first ever found in Mexico and is unusually well preserved. It will be transferred to the city of General Cepeda for further investigation
