Triceratops existed between 68 and 65.5 million years ago. That was at the very end of the Cretaceous time period. The Cretaceous period was the last period of the Mesozoic, or Age of Dinosaurs. This means that Triceratops were one of the very last dinosaurs to exist, and were wiped out by the K-T extinction event that wiped out all of the world's dinosaurs.
