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

Symmetry

Truncated infinite-order triangular tiling with mirror lines, .

The dual of this tiling represents the fundamental domains of *∞33 symmetry. There are no mirror removal subgroups of [(∞,3,3)], but this symmetry group can be doubled to ∞32 symmetry by adding a mirror.

This hyperbolic tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of uniform truncated polyhedra with vertex configurations (6.n.n), and [n,3] Coxeter group symmetry.
