In geometry, the truncated order-3 apeirogonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane with a Schläfli symbol of t{∞,3}.

Dual tiling

The dual tiling, the infinite-order triakis triangular tiling, has face configuration V3.∞.∞.

This hyperbolic tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of uniform truncated polyhedra with vertex configurations (3.2n.2n), and [n,3] Coxeter group symmetry.
