The petrial tesseract is a regular skew polychoron consisting of 3 square duocombs. It shares its faces, edges, and vertices with the tesseract, and it has a petrial tetrahedron vertex figure. It is the Petrie dual of the tesseract.[1]

The petrial tesseract is also the only known (concrete) regular polychoron that has duocombs as cells. It is also a quotient of the square tiling honeycomb.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertex coordinates of the petrial tesseract are the same as that of its regiment colonel, the tesseract.
