Triceratops, which literally means ‘three-horned face’, is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago (mya) in what is now North America. The Triceratops had a sharp hard beak and rows and rows of teeth, some having as many as 800 teeth, allowing them to slice and crush all sorts of vegetation. Despite their fearsome appearance, they didn’t kill other dinosaurs for meat, but they likely would have defended themselves well from predators using their 3 horns which featured on one of the largest heads of any land animal discovered.

Specimen: Triceratops Dinosaur Bone

Age: Cretaceous (~68–66 million years ago)

Location: South Dakota, North America

Scale cube = 1cm: Full sizing please see photo

Triceratops, meaning “three-horned face,” was a genus of large, plant-eating ceratopsid dinosaurs that lived during the very end of the Cretaceous period. Roaming the ancient floodplains of what is now North America, this iconic dinosaur is known for its massive skull adorned with three prominent horns and a large bony frill, making it one of the most recognisable dinosaurs in history.

Despite its intimidating appearance, Triceratops was herbivorous. It possessed a beak-like mouth and hundreds of replaceable teeth designed for shearing through tough Cretaceous vegetation. These dinosaurs could reach up to 9 metres in length and are thought to have weighed between 6 and 12 tonnes.

This genuine Triceratops fossil bone fragment was unearthed from the fossil-rich formations of South Dakota. Such pieces offer a tangible connection to the world of dinosaurs, making it an exciting acquisition for any fossil enthusiast, teacher, or budding paleontologist.

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
