An ellipsoid
* is a three dimensional figure which is symmetrical around three perpendicular axes * has a cross-section in one plane which is a a circle, and the other planes cross-sections are ellipses. In other words, it is an egg-shaped object.
If you can stand an egg upright and you slice it through the middle parallel to the tabletop, you will see a circle, no matter where you slice.
If you were instead to slice downwards vertically in any direction you would see an ellipse.
A semi-ellipsoid.
For example, a sphere or an ellipsoid.
'If a, b, and c are the semi-axes, the volume is (4/3)πabc. When a b c the ellipsoid is a sphere and this formula becomes (4/3)πa3' (James and James, eds, Mathematics Dictionary D. Van Nostrand, 1960)
It's an ovoid, not an ellipsoid as some may think.

an ellipsoid is the less formal name for a geoid which is a shape which is like a sphere but is bulgy round the middle
Newton was first claim that the earth is ellipsoid instead of spherical...
The joint between radius and scaphoid + lunate should fall into the category of an ellipsoid joint.
An ellipsoid.
No it is an oblate ellipsoid
A three-dimensional oval is commonly referred to as an "ellipsoid." An ellipsoid is a surface that is generated by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes. Depending on the lengths of its axes, it can take various forms, such as a spheroid, which is a special case of an ellipsoid where two of the axes are equal.
