Spherical triangles, which tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion, have been studied for some time. However, if we relax the requirement that the triangles must meet edge-to-edge, other tilings are possible. This paper begins the classification of these tilings by characterizing all isosceles triangles that tile the sphere. One infinite family and three sporadic tiles that tile only edge-to-edge are exhibited. See also the author's paper in ibid. 30, No. 3, 459--466 (2003; Zbl 1053.52026).
