    Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2) Error; massive, and granular; friable; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006230
    E—18 to 25 centimeters (7.1 to 9.8 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; massive, and granular; friable; 11 percent brown (10YR 4/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006231. Mottles are silty clay loam.
    B1—25 to 30 centimeters (9.8 to 11.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) and brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; faint dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), moist, clay films; 11 percent dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), moist, masses of reduced iron and 11 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006232
    B2—30 to 43 centimeters (11.8 to 16.9 inches); dark reddish brown (5YR 3/3) Error; strong medium prismatic structure; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006233. Vertical facings subangular; horizontal facings angular and weaker than the vertical.
