Truncated 120-cell

Truncated 120-cell

In geometry, the truncated 120-cell is a uniform polychoron, constructed by a uniform truncation of the regular 120-cell polychoron.

It is made of 120 truncated dodecahedral and 600 tetrahedral cells. It has 3120 faces: 2400 being triangles and 720 being decagons. There are 4800 edges of two types: 3600 shared by three truncated dodecahedra and 1200 are shared by two truncated dodecahedra and one tetrahedron. Each vertex has 3 truncated dodecahedra and one tetrahedron around it. Its vertex figure is an equilateral triangular pyramid.
