Small_complex_icosidodecahedron
In geometry, the small complex icosidodecahedron is a degenerate uniform star polyhedron. Its edges are doubled, making it degenerate. The star has 32 faces (20 triangles and 12 pentagons), 60 (doubled) edges and 12 vertices and 4 sharing faces. The faces in it are considered as two overlapping edges as topological polyhedron.

A small complex icosidodecahedron can be constructed from a number of different vertex figures.
A very similar figure emerges as a geometrical truncation of the great stellated dodecahedron, where the pentagram faces become doubly-wound pentagons ({5/2} --> {10/2}), making the internal pentagonal planes, and the three meeting at each vertex become triangles, making the external triangular planes.
