Triceratops horridus (NHMW-Geo 2000z0185/0001)3D Model
3D scan of a skull cast of the three-horned dinosaur Triceratops horridus. Triceratops lived during the latest Cretaceous in what is now North America. It was one of the largest horned dinosaurs and could reach a weight up to 10 tons. Its skull alone could grow over 2 meters in length! The name Triceratops is derived from the Greek words trí- (τρί-) meaning ‘three’, kéras (κέρας) meaning ‘horn’, and ṓps (ὤψ) meaning ‘face’.
This cast of the Triceratops horridus skull can be found in Hall 10 of the NHM Vienna next to the T. rex skull.
