Great dodecicosahedron
Polyhedron with 32 faces / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, the great dodecicosahedron (or great dodekicosahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U63. It has 32 faces (20 hexagons and 12 decagrams), 120 edges, and 60 vertices.[1] Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral.

It has a composite Wythoff symbol, 3 5⁄3 (3⁄2 5⁄2) |, requiring two different Schwarz triangles to generate it: (3 5⁄3 3⁄2) and (3 5⁄3 5⁄2). (3 5⁄3 3⁄2 | represents the great dodecicosahedron with an extra 12 {10⁄2} pentagons, and 3 5⁄3 5⁄2 | represents it with an extra 20 {6⁄2} triangles.)[2]
Its vertex figure 6.10⁄3.6⁄5.10⁄7 is also ambiguous, having two clockwise and two counterclockwise faces around each vertex.
