Small retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron
In geometry, the small retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron (also known as a retrosnub disicosidodecahedron, small inverted retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron, or retroholosnub icosahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U72. It has 112 faces (100 triangles and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices.[1] It is given a Schläfli symbol ß{3⁄2,5}.

3D model of a small retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron
The 40 non-snub triangular faces form 20 coplanar pairs, forming star hexagons that are not quite regular. Unlike most snub polyhedra, it has reflection symmetries.
Convex hull
Its convex hull is a nonuniform truncated dodecahedron.

Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a small retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of
- (±(1-ϕ−α), 0, ±(3−ϕα))
- (±(ϕ-1−α), ±2, ±(2ϕ-1−ϕα))
- (±(ϕ+1−α), ±2(ϕ-1), ±(1−ϕα))
where ϕ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio and α = √3ϕ−2.
