This fragment includes a 40-centimeter-long section of the caudal bone, which consists of five interconnected vertebrae. Scientists are convinced that this bone was of great importance because it was the centre of mass for the dinosaur and ensured its balance.

It is not yet known what species this bone belonged to. However, scientists have managed to determine the age of the dinosaur itself.

As a reminder, an underwater vehicle discovered a mysterious golden ball at a depth of 3300 metres off the coast of Alaska.
