Excavated dodecahedron triangle is not present. The 20 vertices of the convex hull match the vertex arrangement of the dodecahedron. The faceting is a noble polyhedron. With six six-sided faces around each vertex, it is topologically equivalent to a quotient space of the hyperbolic order-6 hexagonal tiling, {6,6} and is an abstract type {6,6}. It is one of ten abstract regular polyhedra of index two with vertices on one orbit. Excavated dodecahedron In geometry, the excavated dodecahedron is a star polyhedron having 60 equilateral triangular faces. Its exterior surface represents the Efg stellation of the icosahedron. It appears in Magnus Wenninger's book
Regular dodecahedron Shown here including the inner 12 vertices, which are not connected by the outer hull edges of 6D norm length , form a regular icosahedron. <br>The 3D projection basis vectors ["u","v","w"] used are: Regular dodecahedral objects have found some practical applications, and have also played a role in the visual arts and in philosophy. Iamblichus states that Hippasus, a Pythagorean, perished in the sea, because he boasted that he first divulged "the sphere with the twelve pentagons." In "Theaetetus", a dialogue of Plato, Plato was able to prove that there are just five uniform regular solids; these later became known
