Triceratops
Click here for more Triceratops Pictures
Triceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in the late
Cretaceous period,
about 72 to 65 million years ago,
Triceratops was one of the
dinosaurs that died out in the Cretaceous-Tertiary
extinction
65 million years ago.
Triceratops was about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long, 10 feet (3 meters) tall,
and weighed up to 11 tons. Its skull alone (including the neck frill) was
over 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
Hundreds of Triceratops
fossils were first found in
the late 19th century by famous American fossil-hunters,
Othniel C. Marsh
and
Barnum Brown.
Marsh chose the name Triceratops in 1889, and it means
"three horned face".
Because of the number of fossils found, and the fact that they are often
found together,
Triceratops is thought to have been a common dinosaur, that lived in herds.
The three horns on its face were probably used for protection. The neck
frill, being solid bone, gave further protection.
There were at least 15 different species of Triceratops, and some species
had bony knobs set around the frill, which offered further protection still.
Many Triceratops skulls show damage to the horns or the frills. This has
led some scientists to suggest that Triceratops may have had sparring
contests by locking horns and pushing with the head
shield, in a similar way to how male deer spar today. The use of the horns
as a weapon, would probably have limited to use against real enemies such
as
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Triceratops has been designated the official state dinosaur of
Wyoming,
since
1994.
