The fossil, collected in Antarctica in 1985, is part of the tail of a beast called a Titanosaur.

I’m more interested by the prehistoric drawer
my god, the dinosaurs had carpenters!?
The specimen was unearthed in 1985, but the team that discovered it was not sure what it was - so it was stored away in the geology collection of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in Cambridge.
Me and my charging cords/adapters.
I will say that tons of taxonomic discoveries I’ve seen boil down to “Yeah, this specimen has been tucked away in a museum for 30 years. An expert decided to examine/reexamine it with a modern understanding and discovered that it’s a new species.”
Wait, really? Nobody ever collected a penguin bone before 1985?
Only in Argentina
