The Gyroelongated Square Pyramid
The gyroelongated square pyramid is the 10th Johnson solid (J10). It has 9 vertices, 20 edges, and 13 faces (12 equilateral triangles and 1 square)
The gyroelongated square pyramid can be constructed by attaching a square pyramid to a square antiprism.
Attaching a second square pyramid to the other side of the antiprism produces the gyroelongated square bipyramid (J17).
