Anatomía y crecimiento de las crías de dinosaurio
Somos un portal educativo dedicado a la biología del desarrollo de los grandes reptiles del Mesozoico. Nuestra metáfora central —“puppy”— evoca la etapa infantil de los dinosaurios, desde la estructura del huevo fosilizado hasta los hábitos de cuidado parental en especies como Maiasaura.
Trabajamos para estudiantes de geología, paleontólogos aficionados y cualquier persona apasionada por la evolución biológica. Nuestro tono es didáctico pero celebratorio: combinamos rigor científico con asombro por los misterios de la prehistoria.
“Celebramos los misterios de la evolución biológica a través de microfotografías de tejidos óseos prehistóricos y el análisis de nidos fosilizados.”
Didáctico, accesible y con un toque de maravilla. Evitamos el exceso de jerga técnica sin perder precisión. Cada contenido busca conectar el dato científico con la emoción del descubrimiento.

Puppydinosaur was born from a passion for uncovering the earliest chapters of dinosaur life. We believe that understanding the growth and development of these ancient reptiles—from egg to juvenile—is key to unlocking the full story of their evolution. Our project fills a critical gap in paleontological education by focusing on the often-overlooked infant stages, making complex developmental biology accessible to students and enthusiasts alike.
By exploring fossilized egg structures, juvenile bone density, and parental care evidence from species like Maiasaura, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the complexity of prehistoric life. Our resources empower learners to connect with paleontology on a tangible level, fostering the next generation of geologists and paleobiologists. Ultimately, Puppydinosaur seeks to make the ancient world feel immediate and alive, one tiny dinosaur footprint at a time.
From a spark of curiosity to a comprehensive educational resource, discover the milestones that shaped Puppydinosaur.
In 2018, our founder, a paleontologist and educator, recognized a gap in accessible resources about dinosaur ontogeny. The concept of Puppydinosaur was born to bridge the gap between complex scientific research and public curiosity.
By 2020, we partnered with the University of Montana to digitize over 500 microfossil slides of juvenile dinosaur bone tissue. This collaboration provided the foundation for our interactive anatomy modules.
In 2022, we launched a dedicated section on Maiasaura nesting behavior, featuring 3D reconstructions of fossilized nests. This became our most visited resource, attracting over 50,000 students in its first year.
In 2023, we introduced free downloadable lesson plans for high school geology teachers. The program reached over 200 classrooms across North America, solidifying our role as a trusted educational tool.
In 2024, Puppydinosaur received the "Digital Innovation in Paleontology" award from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. We continue to expand our microfotography library and plan to launch a virtual lab for bone histology analysis.
