Triceratops Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Triceratops: Triceratops was a genus of dinosaur. "Triceratops" means "three horned face". This name was chosen by Othniel C. Marsh in 1889. Triceratops was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Triceratops was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Triceratops 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. Triceratops lived between about 72 million years ago and 65 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. Triceratops was one of the dinosaurs which died out during the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic Era. Triceratops lived in North America. Triceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater). Triceratops was about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long, and about 10 feet (3 meters) tall. Triceratops weighed about 11 tons.
