Deltahedron

A semiregular Polyhedron whose faces are all Equilateral Triangles. There are aninfinite number of deltahedra, but only eight convex ones (Freudenthal and van der Waerden 1947). They have 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,14, 16, and 20 faces. These are summarized in the table below, and illustrated in the following figures.

4Tetrahedron
6Triangular Dipyramid
8Octahedron
10Pentagonal Dipyramid
12Snub Disphenoid
14Triaugmented Triangular Prism
16Gyroelongated Square Dipyramid
20Icosahedron

The Stella Octangula is a concave deltahedron with 24 sides:

Another with 60 faces is a ``caved in'' Dodecahedron which is Icosahedron Stellation .

Cundy (1952) identifies 17 concave deltahedra with two kinds of Vertices.
