The question is not very specific. Most people consider the tail bone to be the sacrum. This is a wide, upside down triangular shaped bone formed by the fusion of 5 separate bones. Above that is the 5th lumbar vertebra.
Some people refer to the coccyx as the tail bone. This is the absolute lowest segment of the spine. It is made of 3 small bones that fuse together in early childhood. Above the coccyx bone is the sacrum.
From the skull moving down the spine you have 7 cervical vertebrae that make up the neck. Next you have 12 thoracic vertebrae that make up the middle back. The ribs are attached to this section. Next is 5 lumbar vertebrae, or your lower back. Next you have the sacrum, or 5 sacral bones in young children. Then you have the coccyx which in childhood is made up of 3 bones in young children before it fuses into one bone we call the coccyx.
