The order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb, or just dodecahedral honeycomb, is a compact regular tiling of 3D hyperbolic space. 4 dodecahedra meet at an edge, and 8 meet at a vertex.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A dodecahedral honeycomb has the following coxeter diagrams:

  • x5o3o4o () (full symmetry)
  • x5o3o *b3o () (half symmetry)
