Triceratops
Triceratops[1] (a Graeco, τρι- 'tres' + κέρας 'cornu' + ὤψ 'oculus, facies')[2] (nomen a Marsh anno 1889 inditum) est genus dinosaurorum herbivororum quod Aevo Cretaceo exeunte vixit. Reliquiae in America Septentrionali inveniuntur. Anno 2010 Scannella et Homer proposuerunt Triceratopem eundem ac Torosaurum esse; quae sententia etiamnunc disputatur.
Sceletus Triceratopis horridi in Museo Historico Naturali Angelopolis Comitatus. Haec species vivebat in periodo Cretaceo superio Aevi Cretacei.
