What is the name of this convex polyhedron?

$(V,E,F)=(14,36,24)$.


The top and bottom vertices are degree-$6$, spanning
hexagons, which are zigzag connected in the band between the
two hexagons. The faces are approximate isosceles triangles
in this physical model.

Best Answer

I believe it is a gyroelongated hexagonal bipyramid.

The example shown in the Wikipedia article uses equilateral triangles, which results in coplanar faces around the degree-6 vertices, but as you mention, the model uses isosceles triangles.
