It is known that the $$(2k-1)$$(2k-1)-sphere has at most $$2^{O(n^k \log n)}$$2O(nklogn) combinatorially distinct triangulations with n vertices, for every $$k\ge 2$$k≥2. Here we construct at least $$2^{\Omega (n^k)}$$2Ω(nk) such triangulations, improving on the previous constructions which gave $$2^{\Omega (n^{k-1})}$$2Ω(nk-1) in the general case (Kalai) and $$2^{\Omega (n^{5/4})}$$2Ω(n5/4) for $$k=2$$k=2 (Pfeifle–Ziegler). We also construct $$2^{\Omega (n^{k-1+\frac{1}{k}})}$$2Ω(nk-1+1k) geodesic (a.k.a. star-convex) n-vertex triangulations of the $$(2k-1)$$(2k-1)-sphere. As a step for this (in the case $$k=2$$k=2) we construct n-vertex 4-polytopes containing $$\Omega (n^{3/2})$$Ω(n3/2) facets that are not simplices, or with $$\Omega (n^{3/2})$$Ω(n3/2) edges of degree three.
