==Summary==
Triceratops is a genus of ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, from 68 to 66 million years ago, in what is now North America. 
Triceratops is the most famous of all ceratopsians (commonly known as horned dinosaurs), as well as one of the most iconic dinosaurs, not only because of its frill and 3 horns but also because it lived alongside other famous dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus and Ankylosaurus as the last non-avian dinosaurs before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
2 of many proposed species have been assigned as valid to the genus Triceratops, T. horridus and the less well-known T. prorsus. T. horridus can be distinguished from T. prorsus by having a shallower snout, straighter brow horns, and slightly bigger size. Individual Triceratops are estimated to have reached from 7.9 to 9 m in length, 2.9 to 3.0 m in height, and 6.1–13.5 tonnes in weight. The two species are also separated stratigraphically within the Hell Creek Formation, indicating that they did not live together at the same time.
