Elongated cupola

In geometry, the elongated cupolae are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an n-gonal cupola to an n-gonal prism.

There are three elongated cupolae that are Johnson solids made from regular triangles and square, and pentagons. Higher forms can be constructed with isosceles triangles. Adjoining a triangular prism to a cube also generates a polyhedron, but has adjacent parallel faces, so is not a Johnson solid. Higher forms can be constructed without regular faces.
