Triceratops Tooth | Cretaceous Period

History of the Artifact

The Triceratops was a large, herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, around 83 to 65 Million Years Ago. It is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs due to its distinctive three horns and large bony frill at the back of its head. Triceratops could grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) in length and weigh up to 12 tons, making it one of the largest land animals of its time.

The horns and frill of Triceratops likely served multiple purposes, including defense against predators like Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as social functions such as mating displays or dominance contests within its herd. Its strong beak and rows of cheek teeth were well-adapted for cutting and chewing tough vegetation.

Triceratops fossils are abundant, especially in North America, and it is one of the last known non-avian dinosaurs, going extinct during the mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period.
