Type Uniform compound
Index UC68

This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of the 2 enantiomers of the snub cube.

The vertex arrangement of this compound is shared by a convex nonuniform truncated cuboctahedron, having rectangular faces, alongside irregular hexagons and octagons, each alternating with two edge lengths.
