 Description: Triceratops
is one of the most collectable of dinosaurs. Presented is a complete
tooth with a portion of the
root still
attached. Triceratops is a genus of
herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the late Maastrichtian
stage of the Late Cretaceous
Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago in what is now
North America. It was one of the last dinosaur genera to appear
before the great Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event. Bearing
a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body,
and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops
is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs.
