    A12—3 to 5 centimeters (1.2 to 2.0 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) Error; weak fine granular structure; friable; 25 percent by volume flat indurated 2-75-150 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008155
    A21—5 to 13 centimeters (2.0 to 5.1 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) Error; weak very fine granular structure; friable; 50 percent by volume flat indurated 2-75-150 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008156. A1 tongues into this horizon.

    B1—23 to 33 centimeters (9.1 to 13.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 70 percent by volume flat indurated 2-75-150 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008158. Horizon designated as B1-C1.
    B2—33 to 43 centimeters (13.0 to 16.9 inches); 5/4 5/4) Error; weak fine and medium angular blocky structure; friable; 55 percent by volume flat indurated 2-75-150 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008159. Horizon designated as B2-C1. This horizon may be slightly unconformable as evidenced by a decrease in fragments and a more reddish chroma. It appears that perhaps it is formed from a slightly different rock layer than the B1C1 horizon. However the fragmen
