In geometry, the snub heptaheptagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of sr{7,7}, constructed from two regular heptagons and three equilateral triangles around every vertex.

Symmetry[edit]

A double symmetry coloring can be constructed from [7,4] symmetry with only one color heptagon.
