:From a bunch of data I have, Plume should be about the same as Armor and Old Amber (and just under Cover and Skull); you just had some "bad" luck. I have thought about checking X too myself, but besides that, the main reason I haven't added anything is because I haven't checked the before Hall of Fame distributions.

::That's so odd, that I could wind up with distributions *that* skewed with 50+ fossiles. I would have assumed that was a big enough sample set to get the jist of the hierarchy, and my dome and helix fossils weren't even *remotely* par! Thank you for the clarification; In any event, I won't be going back to suffer in that dwebble infested cave any time soon XD [[User:Imperatrix|Imperatrix]] ([[User talk:Imperatrix|talk]]) 16:43, 21 June 2016 (UTC) | ::That's so odd, that I could wind up with distributions *that* skewed with 50+ fossiles.

In fact, AFAIK your Dome Fossil luck was way high (at ~35%); it should've been more like just 13 found. And Helix should even have been about even, if not higher (at such a relatively small sample, the difference is negligible). | ||
:::Anywho, luck is always a huge factor. 100 samples can still easily skew (if you just have 4-5 less than "ideal" for something—which can easily be 1-2 more than ideal of this, 1-2 more of that—that looks pretty different); only by going even higher can you halfway hope to smooth out the effects of luck in your averages.
