    Ap—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak fine granular structure; friable; 11 percent coarse distinct brown (7.5YR 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent coarse distinct brown (7.5YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 4 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006621. Mottles are inclusions of the BA into the plow layer. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet. Coarse skeleton of small sandstone pebbles up to 1 inch in diameter.
    BA1—15 to 23 centimeters (5.9 to 9.1 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) Error; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.4. Lab sample # OSU0006622. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet. Roots penetrate the material completely.
    BA2—23 to 33 centimeters (9.1 to 13.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) Error; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.4; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006623. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet. Roots penetrate the material completely.
    B1—33 to 46 centimeters (13.0 to 18.1 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0. Lab sample # OSU0006624. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet. Roots penetrate the material.
    B2—46 to 56 centimeters (18.1 to 22.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and brown (10YR 4/3) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006625. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet. Roots penetrate the material.
    BC—56 to 71 centimeters (22.0 to 28.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) Error; friable; faint brown (10YR 4/3), moist, clay films; 11 percent medium and coarse distinct pale brown (10YR 6/3), moist, masses of reduced iron; 9 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006626. Firm in place. Coarse skeleton of sandstone fragments.; continuous - phpvsfiid 976133; continuous - phpvsfiid 976133
    C1—71 to 107 centimeters (28.0 to 42.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and pale brown (10YR 6/3) Error; friable; 30 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments. Lab sample # OSU0006627. Extremely firm in place. Coarse skeleton of partially weathered sandstone fragments. As the material is broken out, the smaller sandstone fragments, 1 to 2 inches in diameter, usually break across before they separate from the weathered material.
    C2—107 to 157 centimeters (42.1 to 61.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) Error; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2. Lab sample # OSU0006628. Extremely firm in place. Contains a few highly weathered sandstone fragments 2 to 4 inches in diameter that have 2.5YR 5/2 interiors and a highly weathered outer shell about 0.125 inch thick that is strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) in color.
