a legacy of a cut and paste?
yourList = {{{{2.5}, {3.8, 31}, {54.23, 46.263, 45.987}, {-82.1476,
5.17782, -205.36}}, {{2.5}, {4.2, 30}, {233.835, 46.469,
46.819}, {93.8625, -13.9818, -198.778}}}, {{{2.5}, {4.1,
30}, {139.845, 15.719, 155.87}, {93.6633,

yourList[[All, All, -1]]
or
Flatten[yourList[[All, All, -1]], 1]
