Catalan solids
A Catalan solid is the dual of an Archimedean solid.
The non-regular faces of these Catalan solids are all congruent to each other. At the vertices, however, different numbers of faces meet. In the case of the Archimedean solids, it is the other way round: the number of faces coming together at a vertex is always the same, but the faces are different types of regular polygons.
In the list below the number of faces, edges and vertices are listed as (F, E, V).
