OK, technically this is MB.R.3822, a dorsal vertebra of Giraffatitan brancai formerly known as HMN Ar1, in posterior view, rendered from a 3D scan provided by Heinrich Mallison.
But you can’t tell me that when you look at that you don’t see Gandalf shouting at a balrog.

It turns out that I formally published a similar image to this one, as part E1 of Taylor (2018: figure 2).

I’ve got a beany-baby plush balrog! Much cuter than the movie version – not sure I can post a pic here, but I agree with you about the Gandalf bone.

Oh, yes, I see Gandalf shouting at a balrog.

Pity it already has a name, because this taxa is just begging to be called Rorschachia or something like that.
