Excavated dodecahedron 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 "Polyhedron Models" as model 28, the "third stellation of icosahedron". It has the same external form as a certain facetting of the dodecahedron having 20 self-intersecting hexagons as faces. The non-convex hexagon face can be broken up into four equilateral triangles, three of which are the same size. A true excavated dodecahedron has the three congruent equilateral triangles as true faces of the polyhedron, while the interior equilateral
Bilinski dodecahedron Bilinski dodecahedron the shorter body diagonals of this type have no parallel face diagonals. The Bilinski dodecahedron can be formed from the rhombic triacontahedron (another zonohedron with 30 golden rhombic faces) by removing or collapsing two zones or belts of faces with parallel edges. Removing only one of these two zones produces, instead, the rhombic icosahedron, and removing three produces the golden rhombohedra. The Bilinski dodecahedron can be dissected into four golden rhombohedra, two of each type. The vertices of these zonohedra can be computed by linear combinations of 3 to 6 vectors.
