Paleontology[]

Triceratops is one of the most famous ceratopsid dinosaurs and was among the last non-avian dinosaurs before the Cretaceous mass extinction. A very familiar dinosaur, it has a massive bony head frill, a beaked mouth, two large horns above its eyes and a smaller third horn on its nose. These horns would have been used in mating displays and as weapons against carnivores. Triceratops lived alongside a variety of other famous dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Stygimoloch and Edmontosaurus.
