Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaurs that first appeared during the Late Cretaceous period about 68 million years ago and weighed about 5 to 9 metric tons. They are large quadrupedal ceratopsian dinosaurs with three prominent horns and a bone frill at the back of their skull. Triceratops had a large skull relative to its body size, a short neck frill that rose from the back, and three horns. The two horns that rose from above the eyes were the largest, while the nasal horn that pointed up from the snout was much smaller. In addition to its three prominent horns, it possessed numerous small spikes bordering the margin of the expanded bone frill at the back of the skull. It shared the landscape with Tyrannosaurus rex and was probably preyed upon by it.
