Not sure this is the right place to ask this question but couldn't think of another category for it to go in. I am trying to establish the name of a shape that has the bottom in the shape of an oblong and the top is half of a circle.

Where's the oblong TTT?

I think the OP means like a section through a basillica.
That is a very unusual shape.
Do you mean a rectangle tapering up to a semi-circle?
Semicircle?
I think you're thinking 3D whereas I think the OP means a 2D shape. Imagine an oblong with the top line replaced with a semi circle. Not sure it has a name.
It makes a lot more sense in 2D....sort of like a protractor with an extended bit at the bottom?
Are some windows that sort of shape?
in the picture the oblong is the bit facing down, ie if you cut a cylinder down the middle you get a rectangle/oblong.
I agree with ZM, it's a 2 D shape. Don't know if it has a name but a rectangle with a semi-circle at both ends is called a stadium. So maybe a semi-stadium?
If it is a window, then it is an extended eyebrow.

ok so like if you had half an athletics track, cut through the straight side? a full track is called a discorectangle so I guess semi-discorectangle?
Could be TTT, a discorectangle is an alternative name for a stadium (geometrically speaking).
1/2 of an athletic track would be a square and a semi circle.
