Triplets, Velma, Vinal and Vilda Mauss, 1907
Captioned: "Displayed at the 1907 Utah State Fair. " We always line up the same way" says Vinal. "Velma is always on my right." High orders of multiple births (three or more offspring in one birth) may result in a combination of fraternal (genetically different) and identical (genetically identical) siblings. The latter are also called super twins. For example, a set of triplets may consist of two identical siblings and one fraternal sibling. This happens when two eggs are fertilized and one of these subsequently divides into two fetuses. No photographer credited, 1907
