Triceratops evolved 68 million years ago and was wiped out by the K-T Extinction Event 65.5 million years ago. That means they existed for about 2.5 million years. If it weren't for the K-T Extinction, Triceratops probably would have continued to exist for millions of years longer considering how common and successful they were.
THE TRICERATOPS LIVED A MILLION YEARS AGO!
Triceratops has been extinct for 65.5 million years, so it isn't important anymore. When it did exist, Triceratops was one of the most common dinosaurs in its habitat. It played a very important role in its ecosystem. Triceratops helped to prevent the plants it ate from overcrowding. They fertilized the soil with their feces and urea. They also provided food for Tyrannosaurus.
Triceratops lived for 65 million years.
Yes. The fossil record is quite clear on this.
The Triceratops where exstinced 99-65 million years ago!
300-200 years
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.
The Triceratops lived about 65,000,000 years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. The Triceratops lived in areas of North America, specifically Wyoming and Colorado.
Triceratops went extinct 65.5 million years ago, and they left no descendants. The closest living relatives of Triceratops are the birds, which evolved from theropod dinosaurs.
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.
About 60 million years or more
