%N Number of dissectable polyhedra with n tetrahedral cells with symmetry of type N or chiral pairs with symmetry of type O.

%C Two of 17 different symmetry types comprising A007173 and A027610. Type N is one of 10 for A371351; type O one of 7 for A371350. Also the number of tetrahedral clusters or polyominoes of the regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {3,3,oo}, both having type N achiral symmetry or type O chiral symmetry and n tetrahedral cells. The axis of threefold rotational symmetry is the altitude of a tetrahedron (32); the order of the symmetry group is 6. For type N, the two rooted polyominoes sharing the central face are a chiral pair reflected in that face; for type O they have the same orientation. - _Robert A. Russell_, Mar 22 2024
