Best Answer

Triceratops fossils have been found from 68 to 65 million years ago, and they were one of the types of dinosaurs to witness the dinosaur extinction event.

Recently, scientists have realized that Torosaurus, another dinosaur very similar to Triceratops, may actually have belonged to the Triceratops genus. If that is the case, Triceratops would have lived from 70 to 65 million years ago.
