Piqued my interest. Didn't realise there were so many types of twins. Superfetation just seems incredible to me. I'm just thinking of the perfect combination to produce the maximum amount of offspring for a woman. A quick google says the greatest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the wife of Feodor Vassilyev (b. 1707–c.1782), a peasant from Shuya, Russia. In 27 confinements she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets.
If we involved superfetation in Feodor's nameless wife we could trivially improve the output by a huge amount.
