Truncated 8-simplexes
In eight-dimensional geometry, a truncated 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 8-simplex.
There are four unique degrees of truncation. Vertices of the truncation 8-simplex are located as pairs on the edge of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the bitruncated 8-simplex are located on the triangular faces of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the tritruncated 8-simplex are located inside the tetrahedral cells of the 8-simplex.
