    2Bk1—97 to 160 centimeters (38.2 to 63.0 inches);, dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) broken face, moist; silt loam; 24 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky structure; soft, very friable, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; moderate permeability; 1 percent fine irregular carbonate masses in matrix; fragments; strong effervescence, by hcl, 1n; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS4747; observed in auger, bucket
    3Bk2—160 to 180 centimeters (63.0 to 70.9 inches);, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) broken face, moist; silt loam; 18 percent clay; weak fine subangular blocky structure; soft, very friable, moderately sticky, moderately plastic; moderate permeability; 1 percent fine irregular carbonate masses in matrix; fragments; very slight effervescence, by hcl, 1n.; observed in auger, bucket. This horizon is similar to that of the 3Bk3 of pedon 10CO009811. Some may consider it a buried A horizon, but it has a little identifiable secondary carbonates.
