The horns above each eye on a Triceratops were about three feet long. The nose horn was about half that length.
It was 2.5 meters [8.2 ft] long
Triceratops horridus had the most massive skull, due to the horns and the fringe. Other ceratopsians had proportionately longer fringes, but Triceratops was also the biggest of the group.
In 1887, a skull roof with two horns belonging to Triceratops was found in Denver, Colorado. Paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh originally misidentified as a prehistoric bison. In 1888, John Bell Hatcher found a much more complete skull of Triceratops in Wyoming, and then Marsh realized his mistake. Both of these specimens were assigned to the new genus Triceratops.

Triceratops didn't have any kind of plate. It did have a large, round frill that emerged from the back of its skull and offered some protection to its neck.
