Composite polyhedron

Not to be confused with Compound polyhedron.

In geometry, a composite polyhedron is a convex polyhedron that produces two convex, regular-faced polyhedra when sliced by a plane. Repeated slicing of this type until it cannot produce more such polyhedra again is called the elementary polyhedron or non-composite polyhedron.
