The Triceratops lived in the Cretacious Period, about 72-65 Million years ago. It had 3 horns on its face, one was short and was just above its parrot-like beak. The first skull of a Triceratops was found in 1888 by John Bell Hatcher. Othniel Marsh named this dinosaur after he found a fossil near Denver, Colorado, USA. Triceratops have been found mostly in Canada and Western United States.
