Talk:Original Theory of Dino Fusion/@comment-98.245.146.83-20120815060339/@comment-5103836-20120815150458

If you are talking about seeing dinos that do not seem possible to get based on the theories above, you have to remember that results on the fusion reported page span 2 or 3 different cycles. Some data is out of date and this is especially true in cells where you have toddler crossed with teen or adult, or teen crossed with adult. These rare combinations have often only been carried out once and since there is no real mechanic to remove these rare data points, they linger on the table. The ideas presented here are based on information gathered from the most recent change in the dino fusion recipies.

If you are talking about a higher level dinos exerting more influence on a fusion than a lower level one, that may be possible. The problem again arises with these combinations being rare, and making any judgements based on so little data difficult. If we look at all 13 of our tier 0 AdultA x ToddlerB data points, there is a 7/6 split in favor of the adult expressing some domiance over the toddler. Therefor, looking at the data we have, I don't see a pattern, but it really hasn't been tested well enough yet.

As far as slot 1 versus slot 2, if you look at the fusion reported tables, especially tier 0 fusions, and compare the toddler combinations for dinoA x dinoB vs dinoB vs dinoA there is a pretty strong 50/50 breakdown. For example Mammoth x Stego give 15/17 split and Stego x Mammoth gives 16/17 split. Some of the others are not quite that clean but I would say slot order does not matter.
