Triceratops lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 to 66 million years ago. These dinosaurs were primarily found in what is now North America. They are known for their distinctive three horns and large frill, which likely played a role in defense and mating displays. Triceratops is one of the last dinosaur genera to have existed before the mass extinction event that led to the demise of the dinosaurs.
