Yes, it is possible to miscarry one of fraternal twins while the other continues to develop. This phenomenon is known as selective reduction or "vanishing twin syndrome." It can occur early in the pregnancy, where one twin is lost and the body absorbs the tissue, or it can happen later, but the surviving twin typically continues to grow and has a chance of being born healthy.
