Definitely a fragmented sentence.

It is a fragment. The thought is not complete. If you were to remove 'although' and capitalise 'tons', you would have a complete sentence.

Complete if the comma comes after the first word. Fragment if the thought is not completed after a comma after the word ocean.

It's a fragment, most specifically a subordinating clause, because of the conjunction "although." The thought is not complete and requires MUCH more information, such as: Although tons of gold lie under the oceans, it is impossible to mine it.

It is a fragment, since 'although' is a joining word, but the phrase does not finish the sentence.

Fragment. Is that your homework complete now?
