A group of excavators carefully swept away the sand and gravel that covered the surface for thousands of years to reveal this particular tail. It is about 5 meters (16 feet) long. Paleontologist Rene Hernandez said the discovery of this caliber appeared for the first time in Mexico. In this world, this case is also extremely rare.

Paleontologist Rene Hernandez said: 'Discovering these bone fragments is not easy because a range of conditions are required to allow the organism to preserve itself. Here, you can see the continuity of the vertebrae from the bone to the end of the nape. In addition, there are other bone elements on the side of the tail. '

Archaeologists believe the rest of the dinosaur skeleton can be buried even deeper underground. They will not know what kind of monster this monster was until they excavated the rest.
