In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-7 dodecahedral honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb).

Geometry[]

With Schläfli symbol {5,3,7}, it has seven dodecahedra {5,3} around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many dodecahedra existing around each vertex in an order-7 triangular tiling vertex arrangement.
