Dual

By Conway polyhedron notation, the dual polyhedron can be called a joined truncated icosahedron, but it is topologically equivalent to the rhombic enneacontahedron with all rhombic faces.

Related polyhedra

The rectified truncated icosahedron can be seen in sequence of rectification and truncation operations from the truncated icosahedron. Further truncation, and alternation operations creates two more polyhedra:
