In four-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 24-cell is a convex uniform 4-polytope, being a runcination (a 3rd order truncation) of the regular 24-cell.
There are 3 unique degrees of runcinations of the 24-cell including with permutations truncations and cantellations.

In geometry, the runcinated 24-cell or small prismatotetracontoctachoron is a uniform 4-polytope bounded by 48 octahedra and 192 triangular prisms. The octahedral cells correspond with the cells of a 24-cell and its dual.
E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope.

### Related regular skew polyhedron

The regular skew polyhedron, {4,8|3}, exists in 4-space with 8 square around each vertex, in a zig-zagging nonplanar vertex figure. These square faces can be seen on the runcinated 24-cell, using all 576 edges and 288 vertices. The 384 triangular faces of the runcinated 24-cell can be seen as removed.

### Runcicantic snub 24-cell

A half-symmetry construction of the runcitruncated 24-cell (or runcicantellated 24-cell), as , also called a runcicantic snub 24-cell, as , has an identical geometry, but its triangular faces are further subdivided. Like the snub 24-cell, it has symmetry [3$^+$,4,3], order 576. The runcitruncated 24-cell has 192 identical hexagonal faces, while the runcicantic snub 24-cell has 2 constructive sets of 96 hexagons. The difference can be seen in the vertex figures:

The omnitruncated 24-cell or great prismatotetracontoctachoron is a uniform 4-polytope derived from the 24-cell. It is composed of 1152 vertices, 2304 edges, and 1392 faces (864 squares, 384 hexagons, and 144 octagons). It has 240 cells: 48 truncated cuboctahedra, 192 hexagonal prisms. Each vertex contains four cells in a phyllic disphenoidal vertex figure: two hexagonal prisms, and two truncated cuboctahedra.

### Structure

The 48 truncated cuboctahedral cells are joined to each other via their octagonal faces. They can be grouped into two groups of 24 each, corresponding with the cells of a 24-cell and its dual. The gaps between them are filled in by a network of 192 hexagonal prisms, joined to each other via alternating square faces in alternating orientation, and to the truncated cuboctahedra via their hexagonal faces and remaining square faces.

### Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinates of an omnitruncated 24-cell having edge length 2 are all permutations of coordinates and sign of:
    (1, 1+√2, 1+2√2, 5+3√2)

### Related polytopes

Nonuniform variants with [3,4,3] symmetry and two types of truncated cuboctahedra can be doubled by placing the two types of truncated cuboctahedra on each other to produce a nonuniform polychoron with 48 truncated cuboctahedra, 144 octagonal prisms (as ditetragonal trapezoprisms), 192 hexagonal prisms, two kinds of 864 rectangular trapezoprisms (288 with D$_{2d}$ symmetry and 576 with C$_{2v}$ symmetry), and 2304 vertices. Its vertex figure is an irregular triangular bipyramid.

This polychoron can then be alternated to produce another nonuniform polychoron with 48 snub cubes, 144 square antiprisms, 192 octahedra (as triangular antiprisms), three kinds of 2016 tetrahedra (288 tetragonal disphenoids, 576 phyllic disphenoids, and 1152 irregular tetrahedra), and 1152 vertices.

### Full snub 24-cell

The uniform snub 24-cell is called a semi-snub 24-cell by John Horton Conway with Coxeter diagram within the F$_4$ family, although it is a full snub or omnisnub within the D$_4$ family, as .
In contrast a full snub 24-cell or omnisnub 24-cell, defined as an alternation of the omnitruncated 24-cell, cannot be made uniform, but it can be given Coxeter diagram , and symmetry [[3,4,3]]$^+$, order 1152, and constructed from 48 snub cubes, 192 octahedrons, and 576 tetrahedrons filling the gaps at the deleted vertices. Its vertex figure contains 4 tetrahedra, 2 octahedra, and 2 snub cubes. It has 816 cells, 2832 faces, 2592 edges, and 576 vertices.
