The great snub icosidodecahedron or gosid is a uniform polyhedron. It consists of 60 snub triangles, 20 additional triangles, and 12 pentagrams. Four triangles and one pentagram meeting at each vertex.

Measures

The circumradius R ≈ 0.81608 of the great snub icosidodecahedron with unit edge length is the second to largest real root of:

4096x^{12}-27648x^{10}+47104x^8-35776x^6+13872x^4-2696x^2+209.

Its volume V ≈ 7.67391 is given by the second to largest real root of:

{\displaystyle \begin{align}&2176782336x^{12}-3195335070720x^{10}+162223191936000x^8+1030526618040000x^6\\ {} &+6152923794150000x^4-182124351550575000x^2+187445810737515625.\end{align}}

These same polynomials define the circumradii and volumes of the snub dodecahedron, the great inverted snub icosidodecahedron, and the great inverted retrosnub icosidodecahedron.
