    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); 10YR 2 (10YR/2) and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak fine granular structure; friable; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007129. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet.
    E—20 to 28 centimeters (7.9 to 11.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) and grayish brown (10YR 5/2) Error; fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; , moist, iron-manganese masses and 33 percent medium prominent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007130. Non-sticky and non-plastic when wet.
    BE—28 to 36 centimeters (11.0 to 14.2 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm; faint clay films on faces of peds; 33 percent medium distinct dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; clear boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007131. Moderately sticky and moderately plastic when wet.
    B1—36 to 48 centimeters (14.2 to 18.9 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) Error; strong medium subangular blocky structure; firm; dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2), moist, clay films on faces of peds; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007132. Sticky and plastic when wet. The clay films are thickest within this horizon. Occasional till pebbles noticed.
    B2—48 to 61 centimeters (18.9 to 24.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; strong coarse subangular blocky structure; firm; dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2), moist, clay films on faces of peds; iron-manganese concretions; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007133. Moderately sticky and plastic when wet. The clay films are thinner than in the horizon above. Matrix colors show through these thinner clay coatings. Occasional till pebbles noticed.
    BC1—61 to 71 centimeters (24.0 to 28.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; firm; very dark grayish brown (2.5Y 3/2), moist, clay films; 1 percent manganese coatings; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007134. Occasional till pebbles noticed.
    BC2—71 to 81 centimeters (28.0 to 31.9 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), moist, clay films; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007135
    BC3—81 to 91 centimeters (31.9 to 35.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; weak subangular blocky structure; dark gray (10YR 4/1), moist, clay films; 33 percent fine distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.6; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007136. Subangular blocky structure fractures along clay coatings. Upper part of this horizon (at 32-33 inches) appears to be the approximate silt contact.
    C1—91 to 102 centimeters (35.8 to 40.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; clay films; 33 percent fine distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; slight effervescence; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007137
