Is there a name for a 3D shape that looks like a circle when viewed from one axis, a square from another, and a triangle from the third?

The shape can be constructed by taking a cylinder with its height equal to its diameter and cutting a triangle out of it when viewing it from the side with the base of the triangle matching one end of the cylinder and the opposite point of the triangle in the center of where the opposite end of the cylinder was.

Is there a name for this shape?

Solution 2:

The shape displayed in Julien Kluge's answer may be seen as a special version of a cylindrical segment, which MathWorld describes as the solid cut from a circular cylinder by two (or more) planes. In any case, it can be made by removing two cylindrical hooves from a cylinder. No idea whether there is a distinctive name for what is left, but the name cylindrical wedge is already reserved for the version with only one slanted cut through the cylinder base, examples of which are the cylindrical hooves mentioned above.

Solution 3:

It is called a chisel tip. A round chisel. However, not all chisels are round.
