In geometry, the elongated dodecahedron,[1] extended rhombic dodecahedron, rhombo-hexagonal dodecahedron[2] or hexarhombic dodecahedron[3] is a convex dodecahedron with 8 rhombic and 4 hexagonal faces. The hexagons can be made equilateral, or regular depending on the shape of the rhombi. It can be seen as constructed from a rhombic dodecahedron elongated by a square prism.
