Triceratops, a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaurs, emerged in the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 million years ago, and weighed between 5 and 9 metric tons. This large quadruped is characterized by three distinct horns and a bony frill extending from the rear of its skull. Its skull was notably large relative to its body, featuring a short neck frill and two prominent horns above the eyes, with a smaller nasal horn on the snout. The frill's edge was lined with numerous small spikes. Triceratops coexisted with, and likely fell prey to, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
