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
Bilinski dodecahedron of lengths of the two diagonals is the golden ratio; that is, the faces of this shape are golden rhombi. In contrast, for the standard rhombic dodecahedron the corresponding ratio is the square root of 2. This shape is a zonohedron. Like the rhombic dodecahedron, it can tile three-dimensional space by translation, making it a parallelohedron. The Bilinski dodecahedron and rhombic dodecahedron have the same topology: their vertices, edges, and faces correspond one-for-one, in an adjacency-preserving way. However, their geometry is different. In a 1962 paper, H. S. M. Coxeter claimed that the Bilinski dodecahedron could be obtained by an
