In geometry, the small stellapentakis dodecahedron is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the truncated great dodecahedron. It has 60 intersecting triangular faces.

Proportions

The triangles have two acute angles of $\arccos({\frac {1}{2}}+{\frac {1}{5}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 18.699\,407\,085\,149^{\circ }$ and one obtuse angle of $\arccos({\frac {1}{10}}-{\frac {2}{5}}{\sqrt {5}})\approx 142.601\,185\,829\,70^{\circ }$. The dihedral angle equals $\arccos({\frac {-24-5{\sqrt {5}}}{41}})\approx 149.099\,125\,827\,35^{\circ }$. Part of each triangle lies within the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.
