uniform 10-polytope, being a
rectification of the regular
10-orthoplex.
There are 10 rectifications of the 10-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 10-orthoplex are located at the edge-centers of the 9-orthoplex. Vertices of the
birectified 10-orthoplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 10-orthoplex. Vertices of the trirectified 10-orthoplex are located in the

10-polytope
In ten-dimensional geometry, a 10-polytope is a 10-dimensional polytope whose boundary consists of 9-polytope facets, exactly two such facets meeting at each 8-polytope ridge.
A uniform 10-polytope is one which is vertex-transitive, and cons ...

The ''rectified 10-orthoplex'' is the
vertex figure
In geometry, a vertex figure, broadly speaking, is the figure exposed when a corner of a polyhedron or polytope is sliced off.
Definitions
Take some corner or vertex of a polyhedron. Mark a point somewhere along each connected edge. Draw lines ...
