3D model of a great dodecicosahedron

In geometry, the great dodecicosahedron (or great dodekicosahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U63. It has 32 faces (20 hexagons and 12 decagrams), 120 edges, and 60 vertices.[1] Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral.

It has a composite Wythoff symbol, 3 53 (32 52) |, requiring two different Schwarz triangles to generate it: (3 53 32) and (3 53 52). (3 53 32 | represents the great dodecicosahedron with an extra 12 {102} pentagons, and 3 53 52 | represents it with an extra 20 {62} triangles.)[2]

Its vertex figure 6.103.65.107 is also ambiguous, having two clockwise and two counterclockwise faces around each vertex.
