Catalan solid

A Catalan solid is convex isohedral polyhedron with a single dihedral angle, other than the regular polyhedra and the infinite families of bipyramids and trapezohedra. They Catalan solids are the duals of the Archimedean solids. There are thirteen Catalan solids.

They were described by a Belgian mathematician Eugène Catalan in 1865.
