The paper refers to convex polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space. Such polyhedra are called Coxeter polyhedra if all their dihedral angles are integer parts of \(\pi\), and they admit a Coxeter decomposition if they can be tiled by finitely many Coxeter polyhedra such that any two tiles with a common face \(F\) are symmetric with respect to \(F\). Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic polyhedra are far from being classified. In the present paper, Coxeter decompositions of compact, convex pyramids and triangular prisms in hyperbolic 3-space are classified.
