EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful presence of a Triceratops, an iconic dinosaur species that once roamed the Earth during the Upper Cretaceous period, approximately 67 to 65 million years ago. With its distinctive three horns, frilled skull, and large body growing up to 9 meters in length, this ceratopsid dinosaur is a true marvel of the prehistoric world. The Triceratops, a member of the Ceratopsia order and the Ceratopsidae family, was first described by American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1889. Its name is derived from the Greek words "tri" meaning three and "keratops" meaning horned face. Fossils of this impressive creature have been discovered primarily in the United States, providing valuable insights into its existence. Triceratops is classified under various taxonomic groups, including Archosauria, Diapsida, Dinosauria, Ceratopsia, Ceratopsidae, Ceratopidae, Chasmosaurinae, and Ceratopia. Its evolutionary history places it within the Archosauromorpha, Archosauriformes, Archosaur, Cerapoda, Dinosauromorpha, Genasauria, and Ceratopian lineages. This print transports us back to the daytime of the Cretaceous period, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of dinosaurs that once dominated our planet. The intricate details of the Triceratops' body and the rich colors of the print bring this extinct creature to life, allowing us to appreciate its majesty and wonder at the mysteries of the natural world.
