Triceratops

Genus of large, plant-eating ornithischian dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous Epoch (100–65.5 million years ago).Triceratopshad a very long skull (some more than 6 ft [1.8 m] long); a large bony frill about the neck; a relatively short, pointed horn on the nose; a beaklike mouth; and two pointed horns, more than 3.3 ft (1 m) long, above the eyes. Adults weighed 4–5 tons (3.6–4.5 metric tons) and grew up to 30 ft (9 m) long. The limbs were very stout, and the hind limbs were more massive than the forelimbs.

Triceratopsteeth were arranged in groups called batteries, of 36 to 40 tooth columns in each side of each jaw, with 3 to 5 stacked teeth per column, depending on the size of the animal.This gives a range of 432 to 800 teeth, of which only a fraction were in use at any given time (Tooth replacement was continuous throughout the life of the animal).They functioned by shearing in a vertical to near-vertical orientation.The great size and numerous teeth ofTriceratopssuggests that they ate large volumes of fibrous plant material, with some researchers suggestingpalmsandcycads,and others suggestingferns, which then grew in prairies.
