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
Tetrahedrally diminished dodecahedron regular tetrahedron. This polyhedron represents the vertex figure of a hyperbolic uniform honeycomb, the partially diminished icosahedral honeycomb, pd{3,5,3}, with 12 pentagonal antiprisms and 4 dodecahedron cells meeting at every vertex. Tetrahedrally diminished dodecahedron In geometry, a tetrahedrally diminished dodecahedron (also tetrahedrally stellated icosahedron or propello tetrahedron) is a topologically self-dual polyhedron made of 16 vertices, 30 edges, and 16 faces (4 equilateral triangles and 12 identical quadrilaterals). It has chiral tetrahedral symmetry, and so its geometry can be constructed from pyritohedral symmetry of the pseudoicosahedron with 4 faces stellated, or from the pyritohedron, with 4 vertices diminished. Within its
