Truncation of a rhombic dodecahedron

The author has discovered a new polyhedron called truncated rhombic dodecahedron (right) by truncating a rhombic dodecahedron (left) from all its 24 edges so that newly generated 24 identical vertices exactly lie on a spherical surface. A truncated rhombic dodecahedron is a non uniform convex polyhedron having 12 congruent rectangular faces, 6 congruent square faces, 8 congruent equilateral triangular faces, 48 edges & 24 identical vertices.
