      A tiling is called weakly nonperiodic if it does not admit a compact fundamental domain as a quotient by its symmetry group. A tiling is called strongly nonperiodic if it has no infinite cyclic symmetry. Margulis and Mozes show that the rhombus with angles \((2-\sqrt{2})\pi/6\) and \(\sqrt{2}\pi/7\) admits a tiling of the hyperbolic plane, but none with a compact fundamental domain. Now it is proved that this rhombus admits uncountable many strongly nonperiodic tilings of the hyperbolic plane with one vertex configuration.
