Your L5 vertebrae and S1, although this is essentially the entire sacrum since they are fused.

In simple terms, it is a lumbar disc that has some features of a sacral vertabrae, or the other way around, sacral vertabrae that has some of the boney features found in a lumbar vertabrae. It is considered a normal anatomic variation.
