Abstract: This work is concerned with the study of the extreme rays of the convex cone of $3imes3$ quasiconvex quadratic forms (denoted by ${calC}_3$). We characterize quadratic forms $fin{calC}_3,$ the determinant of the acoustic tensor of which is an extremal polynomial, and conjecture/discuss about other cases. We prove that in the case when the determinant of the acoustic tensor of a form $fin{calC}_3$ is an extremal polynomial other than a perfect square, then the form must itself be an extreme ray of ${calC}_3;$ when the determinant is a perfect square, then the form is either an extreme ray of ${calC}_3$ or polyconvex; and finally, when the determinant is identically zero, then the form $f$ must be polyconvex. The zero determinant case plays an important role in the proofs of the other two cases. We also make a conjecture on the extreme rays of ${calC}_3,$ and discuss about weak and strong etremals of ${calC}_d$ for $dgeq3.$ where it turns out that several properties of ${calC}_3$ do not hold for ${calC}_d$ for $d>3,$ and thus case $d=3$ is special. These results recover all previously known results (to our best knowledge) on examples of extreme points of ${calC}_3$ that were proved to be such. Our results also improve the ones proven by the first author and Milton [20].
