Disphenocingulum
Disphenocingulum is a genus of extinct reptiles that belonged to the group known as parareptiles. These creatures are characterized by their unique skull structure and dental patterns. Disphenocingulum lived during the late Permian period, which was around 260 million years ago. Fossils of Disphenocingulum have been found, providing insights into the diversity of early reptiles and their evolutionary history.
The Great Pentagrammic Hexecontahedron is a complex geometric shape classified as a non-convex polyhedron. It is part of a larger family of shapes known as polyhedra. Specifically, it is one of the Archimedean duals, sometimes referred to as the "dual polyhedra" of the great icosahedron.
