I have this as an edit:

his blog is intended as an archive containing the complete history of all the Cycles of DinoFusion, going way back to that remote time when the Fusion Lab first appeared in our villages. Each Cycle of DinoFusion will be assigned a distinct named based solely on the unique Substitutions which heralded its Dawning . The present cycle has only one Substitution, in which the Bambiraptor, the prior Tier 3 [Air] Biome dino, was made Inactive and, the new Nemicolopterus was substituted for it. Provided no additional Substitutions are made during this cycle, its full official name will be the Nemicolopterus Cycle, or sometimes the Age of the Nemicolopterus. This cycle appears to have been triggered by the Dino Gods very close to Midnight GMT on Friday August 17th. It's arrival was first reported by villager TinyCharlesR whose fusion of two >>>>>> resulted in the first reported Nemicolopterus Egg. Since then, numerous magic dino-birds have been fused, all agreeing with the predicted DinoFusion formulas. This reconstruction is an application of the methods of Data Fusion, relying solely on a Decision Engine consisting of a suite of informed Binomial Hypotheses. As the data points accumulate in any window of time, the weaker hypotheses are gradually eliminated, until we are left with only one or two viable hypotheses. At this stage an accept or reject decison is made, and the Decision Engine is moved to another time window, inside another DinoFusion Cycle. What is remarkable, is that the entire time history of the Fusion Cycles, can be reconstructed using only the known Active Dinos in the original SpinoSaurus Cycle, and applying to that promordial list, the substitutions composing the cycle names. In effect the names are the substitutions needed to convert a prior Activation List into the next list. In addition to this preferred forward naming convention, there is a backwards convention, which requires considerably less work to convert a current Fusion Cycle backwards to cycles that have expired in the recent past. And finally, there is a third naming convention that allows both forward and backward cycle shifts. In this third convention, the most recent cycle is named the '''Bambiraptor to Nemicolopterus Cycle. ''' We can understand a lot of the mysteries about fusion by time travelling way back into the most ancient prehistoric times. ==Ancient History, Way Back Long Before there was Fusion== The recently hatched Theory of DinoFusion, allows us to predict the exact preconditions required before their could be the first Dino Fusions. This is nicely illustrated by this most ancient Tier and Biome Table, found chiseled on the walls of a deep cave by Rupert and Regina. Of course now, it is hopelessly out of date. This ancient table reveals all the animals on the DinoArk just before the first Great Meteor Showers struck. This is that remote time even before the Andrewsarchus was introduced. Dinos Rescued on the Dino Ark {| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="article-table" style="margin: 0px auto; width: 500px; " ! scope="col"|Tier ! scope="col" style="text-align:center;"|Tundra ! scope="col" style="text-align:center;"|Forest ! scope="col" style="text-align:center;"|Desert ! scope="col" style="text-align:center;"|Air |- |3 |Sabretooth Tiger | style="text-align:center;"|X | style="text-align:center;"| X | style="text-align:center;"| X |- |2 | style="text-align:center;"| X |Triceratops | style="text-align:center;"|Raptor | style="text-align:center;"| X |- |1 | style="text-align:center;"| X | Protoceratops Brontosaurus |Dimetrodon |Pterodactyl |- |0 |Mammoth |Stegosaurus |Anklyosaurus |Parasaurolophus |} {C}You can see that the ark had four levels or tiers. The top tier was reserved for the aristocratic tier 3 dinos. The middle tier 2 sheltered the merchants and business-oriented dinos, while the first tier housed the poorer tier 1 dinos who, though poor, could at least afford a better ticket. The Common Tier 0 dinos were consigned to the deck below the water line and had a terribly rough time of it. You can see that many berths were left completely empty, perhaps due to an earlier mass extinction event! Notice the many  empty cells  in this table. In fact, none of the tiers could support DinoFusion in this remote abd ancient epoque, because the empty cells wouldlead to violations of the first two laws of DinoFusion. The First Law of DinoFusion, is expressed in the four equations: [Tundra] + [Tundra] = [Air]*, [Forest] + [Forest] = [Air]*, [Desert] + [Desert] = [Air]* and [Air] + [Air] = [Tundra]* where the * denotes an active dino in that biome in the next higher tier. You can see that these was no way to fulfil the First Law of DinoFusion for any of the tiers. Fusion Preconditon 1:  The First Law can only be satisfied if there is at least one Air Dino and at least one Tundra dino in every tier. Otherwise there's not even one dino to activate and choose for [Air]* or [Tundra]* Fusion Preconditon 2:  You can see another problem in the mostly empty tier 3, with regard to the second law. There is nothing to choose for the dino combination Triceratops + Raptor = [Forest]* or [Desert]* The Second Law can only be satisfied if every tier has at least one Forest dino or at least one Desert dino. The second law does not require however each tier have both! One will do. Tier 3 violates the second law of DinoFusion. ==The Only Solution, More Dinosaurs of Course!!== Over millions of years, the Dino Gods introduced more dino species thru a mysterious process known as Unnatural Selection, which has been written on at length by the noted naturalist Sir Charles Darwinite in his treatise "The Origin of Dino Species". After a great expanse of time, the Ark was no longer needed and the Great Hotel Prehistoria was erected, still holding to the original pans for the Ark. Let's see which dinos are staying at the Prehistoria, just before the Wooly Rhino was introduced. You can see quite a few new species have evolved. They are shown as in each berth, except for the special case of the [Love Stego] and the [Lucky Mammoth], each of whom would subsequently use their unique skills (Love and Luck) to jump up a tier. We show them using [ ] brackets .
