In geometry, the order-3 snub heptagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. There is four triangles, one heptagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of s{7,3}.

The image shows a Poincaré disk model projection of the hyperbolic plane.

[edit] Dual tiling

The dual tiling is called an order-7-3 floret pentagonal tiling, and is related to the floret pentagonal tiling.
