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
Rhombic dodecahedron The "rhombic dodecahedron" has four special orthogonal projections along its axes of symmetry, centered on a face, an edge, and the two types of vertex, threefold and fourfold. The last two correspond to the B and A Coxeter planes. The eight vertices where three faces meet at their obtuse angles have Cartesian coordinates: The coordinates of the six vertices where four faces meet at their acute angles are: The rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a degenerate limiting case of a pyritohedron, with permutation of coordinates and with parameter "h" = 1. The "rhombic dodecahedron" is a parallelohedron, a space-filling
