- Amorphous globosus is a rare and incidental finding in bovine placentas especially. It is a type of acardiac monster, and it is a severely anomalous second fetus. It is usually spherical, covered in hair, and attached to the placenta by a cord (Fig. 18-44).
- 2008 April 15, Anthony H. Andrews, “Congenital Conditions”, in Bovine Medicine, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 184:
- Occasionally, small amorphous monsters called amorphous globosus or acardiac twins occur. They are related to double monsters and identical twins. They are found attached to the fetal membranes of the other calves and comprise an outer skin enclosing adipose tissue.

- Occasionally just a ball of hairy skin is delivered, as in Plate 5.24. These are known as amorphous globosus and are nearly always twin to a normal full-term calf. Internally this calf even had a heart and circulation!
