Scientifically accurate paleoart of Triceratops, a herbivore Ceratopsidae dinosaur from the late Maastrichtian, at the very end of the Cretaceous (about 68–66 million years ago). Two long brow horns above the eyes and one short horn on the nose. A solid bony frill without holes, edged with small triangular bony points. Reference: Triceratops is a genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 69 to 66 million years ago on the island continent of Laramidia, now forming western North America. It was one of the last-known non-avian dinosaurs and lived until the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. The name Triceratops, which means 'three-horned face', is derived from Ancient Greek trí-, meaning 'three', kéras, meaning 'horn', and ṓps, meaning 'face'. Anatomy: a large, hooked, parrot-like beak; quadrupedal with pillar-like hind legs; front legs semi-erect with the elbows slightly out and the fingers pointing forward and outward, NOT palms-down; skin of large rounded scales, some with small conical bumps. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in a humid latest-Cretaceous floodplain forest like the Hell Creek Formation of North America, with conifers, ferns and early flowering trees and shrubs, no grass. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.
