    A1—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak fine granular structure; very friable; fragments. Lab sample # OSU0001340. A shallow covering of leaves, leaf mold, and litter overlays the 10YR 3/1 layer. The 10YR 3/1 color occurs in a layer 0.25 to 0.50 inches thick and overlays the 10YR 4/2 color. Numerous fragments of fine-grained sandstone up to 5 inches across at widest p
    A2—5 to 23 centimeters (2.0 to 9.1 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2) and brown (10YR 5/3) Error; medium granular structure; very friable; fragments. Lab sample # OSU0001341. Sandstone fragments are both semi-rounded and channery and average 2 to 3 inches across their widest points.
    C1—23 to 51 centimeters (9.1 to 20.1 inches); brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) Error; very friable; fragments. Lab sample # OSU0001342. Sandstone fragments are both semi-rounded and channery and average greater than 3 inches across their widest points.
    C2—51 to 64 centimeters (20.1 to 25.2 inches); brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) Error; very friable; 55 percent by volume flat indurated 2-75-150 millimeter unspecified fragments. Lab sample # OSU0001343. Sandstone fragments are both semi-rounded and channery and average greater than 3 inches across their widest points. The channery fragments appear to be rather fresh, but the rounded fragments are softer and more weathered.
