    A1—0 to 6 centimeters (0.0 to 2.4 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) Error; granular structure; friable; fragments; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006275
    Ap2—6 to 13 centimeters (2.4 to 5.1 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; friable; 1 percent pale brown (10YR 6/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006276. Breaks into fine granular structure. This appears to be a very old plow layer of possibly twenty years ago.
    E—13 to 20 centimeters (5.1 to 7.9 inches); pale brown (10YR 6/3) Error; weak fine and medium platy, and granular structure; 11 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006277
    BE—20 to 33 centimeters (7.9 to 13.0 inches); light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak coarse subangular blocky, and angular blocky structure; 11 percent light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), moist, masses of reduced iron; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006278. Average thickness about 5 inches with tongue about 9 inches total and only 3 inches each side.
    B1—33 to 46 centimeters (13.0 to 18.1 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/3) Error; strong medium subangular blocky, and angular blocky structure; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006279. Sample taken at side of tongue of BE horizon mentioned above.
