Triceratops, an herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period about 68 million years ago, weighed between 5 and 9 metric tons. This large, four-legged dinosaur featured a massive skull with a short bony frill at the back and three distinct horns: two large ones above the eyes and a smaller nasal horn on the snout. The frill's edge was lined with numerous small spikes. Coexisting with predators like Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops was a prominent member of its ecosystem.
