                Scientists Excavate Full Dinosaur Tail in Mexico

   A team of paleontologists in Mexico have discovered an unusually
   well-preserved dinosaur tail that is 72 million years old.
   Scientists from Mexico`s National Institute of Anthropology and History
   say the five-meter-long tail was found earlier this month in the desert
   about 150 kilometers west of Monterrey (near the small town of General
   Cepeda) and is the first ever found in the country.
   The paleontologists took 20 days to uncover 50 complete vertebrae of
   the tail along with several other parts of the dinosaur, including a
   hip.
   The scientists say the tail resembles that of a Hadrosaur, or
   duck-billed dinosaur, and probably made up half of the dinosaur`s
   length.
