In geometry, a pentahexagonal pyritoheptacontatetrahedron is a near-miss Johnson solid with pyritohedral symmetry. This near-miss was discovered by Mason Green in 2006. It has 6 hexagonal faces, 12 pentagonal faces, and 56 triangles in 3 symmetry positions. Mason calls it a hexagonally expanded snubbed dodecahedron.[http://www.orchidpalms.com/polyhedra/acrohedra/nearmiss/Tetrated%20Dodecahedra.html Near Misses based on dodecahedra]

With regular hexagons and pentagons it is a symmetrohedron.{{citation|contribution=Symmetrohedra: Polyhedra from Symmetric Placement of Regular Polygons|title=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science|year=2001|url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-21.pdf|first1=Craig S.|last1=Kaplan|first2=George W.|last2=Hart|author2-link=George W. Hart}}. The triangles are not equilateral, with triangle-triangle edges compressed by 1.8%.

It has 3 vertex configurations, 3.3.5.6, 3.5.3.6, 3.3.3.3.5, with the last shared in the snub dodecahedron.
