Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number[1] are achieved by removing (truncating) some smaller Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) from each of the vertices of a bigger Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number).

A pyramid with side length 5 contains 35 spheres. Each layer represents one of the first five triangular numbers.

The number to be removed (truncated) may be same or different from the different vertices.

For example,

Tetrahedral Number 20 (sequence A000292 in the OEIS) yields Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number 7 (sequence A051937 in the OEIS) by truncating Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) 4,4,4 and 1 from its vertices

Tetrahedral Number 35 (sequence A000292 in the OEIS) yields Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number 19 (sequence A051937 in the OEIS) by truncating Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) 4 from each of the vertices

Tetrahedral Number 286 (sequence A000292 in the OEIS) yields Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number 273 (sequence A051937 in the OEIS) by truncating Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) 4,4,4 and 1 from its vertices

Tetrahedral Number 560 (sequence A000292 in the OEIS) also yields Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number 273 (sequence A051937 in the OEIS) by truncating Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) 84,84,84 and 35 from its vertices

Tetrahedral Number 816 (sequence A000292 in the OEIS) yields Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number 689 (sequence A051937 in the OEIS) by truncating Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) 56,35,35 and 1 from its vertices

Tetrahedral Number 969 (sequence A000292 in the OEIS) yields Truncated Triangular Pyramid Number 833 (sequence A051937 in the OEIS) by truncating Tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) 56,35,35 and 10 from its vertices

Also,

Certain Truncated Triangular Pyramid Numbers may possess other characteristics too, like:

273 (number) is also a sphenic number and an idoneal number

204 (number) is also a square pyramidal number and a nonagonal number
