Caption: Figure 3.

Similar to Figure 2, but showing inclination. The larger circles show objects that have perihelia above 40 au. All of the high-perihelion objects beyond 53 au have inclinations greater than 20°, except for our newly discovered 2012 FH84, which is likely a rare outer classical belt object along with 1995 TL8, 2002 CP154 and 2001 FL193 (the large blue circles with very low inclinations between 50 and 53 au).
