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
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
