The 7-2 gyrochoron, also known as mobius 7, is a convex isochoric polychoron and member of the gyrochoron family with 7 bilaterally-symmetric edge-truncated tetrahedra as cells. It is the simplest gyrochoron after the pentachoron and triangular duoprism, both members of existing families, as well as the only isochoric polychoron with 7 cells. It can also be constructed as the 7-3 gyrochoron. It is also the triangular funk prism.
Each cell of this polychoron has bilateral symmetry, with 2 mirror-symmetric pentagons, 2 kites, and 2 isosceles triangles for faces, and shares a face with every other cell.
