The Petrial triangular tiling is one of three regular skew tilings of the Euclidean plane. Six zigzags meet at a vertex and it is the Petrie dual of the triangular tiling.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertex coordinates of a Petrial triangular tiling with edge length one are the same as those of the triangular tiling.

The Petrial triangular tiling as the apeir of the hexagon

The Petrial triangular tiling is the apeir of the hexagon, its vertex figure.

The rectification of the Petrial triangular tiling is the hexagonal-hemiapeirogonal tiling, which is a uniform tiling.
