    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2) Error; moderate medium and coarse granular structure; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008602. Slightly sticky and nonplastic.
    Ag2—20 to 25 centimeters (7.9 to 9.8 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) and strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) Error; weak medium, and granular structure; black (10YR 2/1), moist, manganese coatings; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008603. Slightly sticky and slightly plastic.
    Bg2—25 to 36 centimeters (9.8 to 14.2 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) Error; weak medium prismatic structure; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008604. Slightly sticky and slightly plastic.
    Bgm3—36 to 46 centimeters (14.2 to 18.1 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) Error; massive, and subangular blocky; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; clear irregular boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008605. Slightly plastic and slightly sticky. Extends through next lower horizon in some places.
