Torosaurus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Torosaurus: Torosaurus was a genus of dinosaur. "Torosaurus" means "pierced lizard". This name was chosen by Othniel C. Marsh in 1891. Torosaurus was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Torosaurus was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Torosaurus was a Ceratopsian - a member of a group of related herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs with beaks, many of which had neck frills and horns as well. Torosaurus lived between about 70 million years ago and 65 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. Torosaurus was one of the dinosaurs which died out during the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic Era. Torosaurus lived in North America and Asia. Torosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater). Torosaurus was about 25 feet (7.7 meters) long, and about 7 feet (2 meters) tall. Torosaurus weighed about 4 tons.
