    Ap—0 to 23 centimeters (0.0 to 9.1 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; moderate fine granular structure; friable; 2 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006910. Shale.
    B21—23 to 33 centimeters (9.1 to 13.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm; faint brown (10YR 5/3), moist, clay films; 2 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006911. Nonsticky when wet; coarse fragments are shale.
    B22—33 to 48 centimeters (13.0 to 18.9 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm; faint brown (10YR 5/3), moist, clay films; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006912. Slightly sticky when wet; coarse fragments are rotted shale
    B23—48 to 64 centimeters (18.9 to 25.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; strong medium subangular blocky, and strong subangular blocky structure; firm; faint brown (10YR 5/3), moist, clay films; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006913. Rotted shale; crush to soil when rubbed.
