Triceratops, a herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur, roamed North America during the Maastrichtian Stage of the Upper Cretaceous, just before the mass extinction event. This bone fragment likely belonged to a limb or rib section of this iconic horned dinosaur, known for its three facial horns and frilled skull morphology.
The Hell Creek Formation is a fossil-rich geological unit that preserves a diverse assemblage of Late Cretaceous flora and fauna. The depositional environment was a subtropical lowland floodplain, supporting large herbivores like Triceratops and apex predators like Tyrannosaurus rex.
