Part No: 40379 Name: Dinosaur Tail End Section / Horn
* 		40379 Dinosaur Tail End Section / Horn
Parts: Animal, Body Part

There are two versions of this part where the small hole by the base varies
in location, mirrored left or right side.

This can be seen in the new carousel where it seems Lego tried to include 24/24
(I got 23/25) of each type, so that the holes wouldn't be visible.

If you'll post a comparison picture, then I'll add an additional note
to the part mentioning the difference and also add this part to our list of known
variants.

I don't know what happened here, but the website is responding very slow
and all my text is gone...



The different versions could simply be different cavity positions in the mold.
If those are evenly distributed in the mold, then we could expert to find approximately
equal amounts in sets.
