    Ap—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1) Error; weak medium and coarse granular structure; very friable; fragments; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001235. Very strongly acid.
    Btg—15 to 38 centimeters (5.9 to 15.0 inches); light gray (2.5Y 7/2) Error; fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 11 percent medium prominent reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001236. Strongly acid.
    Btgx—38 to 53 centimeters (15.0 to 20.9 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) Error; weak coarse prismatic, and weak subangular blocky structure; firm; 11 percent medium distinct brownish yellow (10YR 6/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001237. Slightly acid.
    Bx—53 to 79 centimeters (20.9 to 31.1 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) Error; weak coarse and very coarse prismatic, and weak platy structure; firm; faint brownish yellow (10YR 6/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 2.5Y 6/ (2.5Y 6/), moist, masses of reduced iron; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments. Lab sample # OSU0001239. Weakly calcareous in spots; this horizon occurs as discontinuous masses separated laterally by penetrations or tongues of B23g; some spheroid masses up to 1? across occur as isolated remnants in the B23g. Weak fragipan occurs erratically.
    Btgx—53 to 112 centimeters (20.9 to 44.1 inches); 2.5Y 6/0 (2.5Y 6/0) Error; weak prismatic, and weak subangular blocky structure; olive yellow (2.5Y 6/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; gradual irregular boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001238. Sticky and moderately plastic; this horizon penetrates down to at least 44? as tongues or fillings between masses of B3m and C1 material; neutral.
    C—79 to 155 centimeters (31.1 to 61.0 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) Error; faint yellowish brown (10YR 5/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 2.5Y 6/ (2.5Y 6/), moist, masses of reduced iron; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments. Lab sample # OSU0001240. Weakly calcareous; mottles occur along B23g penetrations.
