3D model of an elongated triangular pyramid

In geometry, the elongated triangular pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (J7). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a tetrahedron by attaching a triangular prism to its base. Like any elongated pyramid, the resulting solid is topologically (but not geometrically) self-dual.
