Triceratops is an extinct genus of herbivorous chasmosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago in what is now North America.
What era did the triceratops live in?
With its three sharp horns and spiky head plate, Triceratops horridus must have been an intimidating presence as it trampled across western North America in the late Cretaceous period, some 69 million years ago. Despite its fierce appearance, this famous ceratopsian, or horned dinosaur, was an herbivore.
Did the triceratops live in the Mesozoic Era?
Triceratops lived about 65 million years ago, during the Cretaceous Period. Tyrannosaurus Rex, the big bad bully, also lived in this time period, and often challenged the Triceratops to a dino duel. The shape of its face and horns proved very useful in these battles, and were good tools in fighting off the T-Rex.
