The Elongated alternated cubic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of octahedra, triangular prisms, and tetrahedra in a ratio of 1:2:2.
It is vertex-uniform with 3 octahedra, 4 tetrahedra, 6 triangular prisms around each vertex. Each prism meets an octahedron at one end and a tetrahedron at the other.
It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
It has a gyrated form called the gyroelongated alternated cubic honeycomb with the same arrangement of cells at each vertex.
