We give several results dealing with denseness of certain classes of norms with many vertex points. We prove that, in Banach spaces with the Mazur or the weak* Mazur intersection property, every ball (convex body) can be uniformly approximated by balls (convex bodies) being the closed convex hull of their strongly vertex points. We also prove that given a countable set F, every norm can be uniformly approximated by norms which are locally linear at each point of F.
