The elongated gyrobifastigial honeycomb is a noble honeycomb with elongated gyrobifastigia, 6 of which join at a vertex. It can be obtained as the dual of the gyrated triangular prismatic honeycomb.
Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is 1:1. Although it cannot be made uniform due to the pentagons always having two 90 degree angles, it can be dissected into a gyroelongated triangular prismatic honeycomb, which can be made uniform.
