It's teeth are relatively common fossils within the Hell Creek formation which outcrops in Montana and South Dakota. The Triceratops specimens for sale on earthStones Australia are all authentic. Triceratops is estimated to have been nearly 30 feet long (9m), and nearly 10 feet tall (3m). The largest skull would have covered a third of its body, and was over 8 feet (2m)long. Triceratops had sturdy legs and three, pointed facial horns that extended 3 feet long. This dinosaur is considered to have had a powerful build, similar to that of a rhino. The largest white rhinoceros was an estimated 4,500 kilo’s while the largest black rhinos grow to about 1,800 kilo’s. In comparison, the Triceratops may have grown to 12,000 kilo’s. Triceratops possessed hundreds of teeth due to consistent tooth replacement. Triceratops likely chewed palms, ferns and cycads. Triceratops teeth were suited for plucking fibrous plants with a beak-tipped mouth and chewing the material with 432-800 teeth which are arranged in batteries. These batteries consisted of tooth columns arranged on each side of the jaw- 36 to 40 of them per side, each column contained 3 to 5 teeth stacked on top of each other.
