To find this sequence, if it exists, you would need to find a set of Heronian triangles such that the lengths of sides a:b:c in each triangle corresponded to sides b:c:d in the next, until the last. The series of triangle in theproportions could (hypothetical 26 triangleand likely will, if it exsts, I think) set had sides zcontain a cycle wherein a multiplier is introduced after each cycle, such that the triangles after x:y:z are y:z:(an), z:(ban), which would then be followed by :(abn):, and (ban):(c*nbn):(cn).

A cursory search of the hundred smallest integer Heronian triangles yields no such set longer than 2 triangles, and no such cycle. As Heronian triangles can be parametrically enumerated, it would be possible to perform a brute force search of a sizable number of them for such a sequence or cycle.
