This month, we return to 3D and introduce the dual of the truncated icohedron:
This is the pentakis dodecahedron, a Catalan solid from the icosahedral family. Its surface consists of 60 isosceles triangles, 90 edges (60 short, 30 long), and 32 vertices. It has an edge length ratio of 12+3φ : 19. Check out more details at the pentakis dodecahedron page!
As usual we provide full algebraic coordinates.

This month, we present a Catalan polychoron from the 24-cell family:
This is the joined 24-cell, the dual of the rectified 24-cell. Its surface consists of 96 triangular bipyramids, 288 isosceles triangles, 240 edges, and 48 vertices. Check out the joined 24-cell page for more details!
Full algebraic coordinates are provided, as usual.

This month, we continue in 4D with another 4D Catalan polychoron:
This is the joined 16-cell, the dual polytope to the rectified tesseract. This pretty polychoron is bounded by 32 triangular bipyramids, 96 isosceles triangles, 88 edges, and 24 vertices.
Find out more on the joined 16-cell page! As is customary the full Cartesian coordinates are available.
