Placenta

The fetal surface of a normal term twin placenta is seen here. The thick dividing membranes between the amniotic cavities occupied by the two fetuses are seen between the cord insertions. This is a "diamnionic-dichorionic" twin placenta (di-di placenta - where each twin has its own chorionic and amnionic sacs), which makes the likelihood of dizygous twinning much more probable than monozygous twinning.
