Triceratops was a species of herbivorous dinosaur. Triceratops lived during the Mesozoic Era, during the days of the late Cretaceous period. A large herbivorous dinosaur, Triceratops grazed on plants and relied on its horns and frilled head for defense, cutting away at plants with its sharp beak. were larger relatives of the Chasmosaurus. They appear in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, The Triceratops are shown very briefly, wading through a pond.
The earliest trilobites known from the fossil record are fallotaspids, and redlichiids (both order Redlichiida) and bigotinids (order Ptychopariida, superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea) dated to some 540 to 520 million years ago.ecause trilobites had wide diversity and an easily fossilized exoskeleton an extensive fossil record was left behind, with some 17,000 known species spanning Paleozoic time. The study of these fossils has facilitated important contributions to biostratigraphy, paleontology, evolutionary biology and plate tectonics.
