I was looking for pictures or illustrations and maybe some good articles on this subject. I haven't found anything that good so far. I find it incredibly fascinating. Gross, but fascinating.

oh yeah.
when a mother concieves twins but due to some developmental anomaly one of the fetuses grows inside another fetus. this growth may stop after few days and the bigger fetus may be born with another fetus inside.

I have only seen/heard of this from the show on Discovery Channel. It is a fascinating subject. Check the Discovery Channel's page. Maybe they have something on there.

Is this the anomaly in which one fetus of a set of twins is literally inside the other? I've heard of it, but I don't know if there exist any pictures of it...
