The cantellated 5-simplex, also called the small rhombated hexateron or sarx, is a convex uniform 5-polytope. It consists of 15 tetrahedral prisms, 6 rectified pentachora, and 6 small rhombated pentachora. One rectified pentachoron, 2 tetrahedral prisms, and 3 small rhombated pentachora join at each vertex. As the name suggests, it is the cantellation of the 5-simplex.
