you still have to see a real icosahedron

Major seismotectonic belts/'plate boundaries' (broken lines) compared with an icosahedron.[6] 'Plate boundaries' (i.e. seismic belts) meet coincide very closely with the vertices of an icosahedron, which, like the tetrahedron, is one of the five regular polyhedra or Platonic solids.Image:Icosa.jpg

But you still have to see a real icosathumb ... Icosahedron And even a real dodecahedron - made of pentagons - is regular, a property that the plaque boundaries do not exhibit.
