From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, a snub is an operation on a regular or quasi-regular polyhedron or tiling that defines a related polyhedron or tiling with the same faces with new triangle faces. The term originates from two semiregular polyhedron, named by Kepler named as snub cube (cubus simum) and snub dodecahedron (dodekaeder simum). Snubs contain chiral symmetry that arises from an alternation operation.
