Dodecahedron dodecahedron has several stellations, the first of which is also a parallelohedral spacefiller. Another important rhombic dodecahedron, the Bilinski dodecahedron, has twelve faces congruent to those of the rhombic triacontahedron, i.e. the diagonals are in the ratio of the golden ratio. It is also a zonohedron and was described by Bilinski in 1960. This figure is another spacefiller, and can also occur in non-periodic spacefillings along with the rhombic triacontahedron, the rhombic icosahedron and rhombic hexahedra. There are 6,384,634 topologically distinct "convex" dodecahedra, excluding mirror images—the number of vertices ranges from 8 to 20. (Two polyhedra are "topologically distinct" if
Small stellated dodecahedron the form of doubly-wound pentagons overlapping the first 12 pentagons. The latter faces are formed by truncating the original pentagrams. When an {n/d}-gon is truncated, it becomes a {2n/d}-gon. For example, a truncated pentagon {5/1} becomes a decagon {10/1}, so truncating a pentagram {5/2} becomes a doubly-wound pentagon {10/2} (the common factor between 10 and 2 mean we visit each vertex twice to complete the polygon). Small stellated dodecahedron In geometry, the small stellated dodecahedron is a Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron, named by Arthur Cayley, and with Schläfli symbol {5/2,5}. It is one of four nonconvex regular polyhedra. It is composed of
