The xylochoric snub, also known as the icositetrachoric snub and the snub 24-cell, is the sole uniform snub polychoron form. It can be constructed by alternating the xylochoric truncate (which is itself the aerochoric cantitruncate). It is composed of 120 tetrahedra and 24 icosahedra; five tetrahedra and three icosahedra meet at each vertex. In total it has 480 triangular faces, 432 edges, and 96 vertices.

The hydrochoron can be constructed by raising pyramids on each face of the xylochoric snub.
