    Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); black (10YR 2/1) and black (10YR 2/1) rubbed, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), dry; silty clay loam; 28 percent clay; massive parts to weak fine granular; hard, friable; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A11265. The few fine sand grains are mostly free of coatings.
    AB—18 to 28 centimeters (7.1 to 11.0 inches); black (10YR 2/1) and very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) and very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) rubbed silty clay loam; weak very fine subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A11266
    BA—28 to 46 centimeters (11.0 to 18.1 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) and brown (10YR 4/3) and very dark gray (10YR 3/1) silty clay loam; 33 percent clay; weak coarse prismatic parts to weak very fine subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A11267. Mixed colors due to worm activity; darker colors predominantly on ped surfaces.
    Bw1—46 to 64 centimeters (18.1 to 25.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) interior and very dark gray (10YR 3/1) exterior silty clay loam; 31 percent clay; weak medium and coarse prismatic parts to weak medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 fine tubular pores; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A11268
    Bw2—64 to 71 centimeters (25.2 to 28.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) silty clay loam; weak medium and coarse prismatic parts to weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 fine tubular pores; distinct dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), moist, on faces of peds; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A11269. Contains some pebbles and more fine sand than horizons above but is still loess-like; ped faces have smooth shiny patches.; patchy - phpvsfiid 1107276; patchy - phpvsfiid 1107276
    2Bw3—71 to 84 centimeters (28.0 to 33.1 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) clay loam; weak medium and coarse prismatic parts to weak medium subangular blocky structure; firm; 3.0 very fine tubular and 0.5 fine tubular pores; 1 percent fine iron-manganese concretions; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A11270. Matrix is noncalcareous; few fine dark soft oxide concretions; few pebbles.
    2BC—84 to 112 centimeters (33.1 to 44.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) clay loam; 3 percent grayish brown (10YR 5/2) fine faint mottles; weak medium and coarse prismatic parts to weak subangular blocky structure; firm; 3.0 fine tubular pores; brown (10YR 5/3), moist, on faces of peds; 3 percent fine noncoherent cemented iron-manganese concretions and 3 percent fine weakly coherent cemented iron-manganese concretions; fragments; slight effervescence; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A11271. Few dark oxide patches or dendrites; smooth shiny brown patches on prism faces.; patchy - phpvsfiid 1107277; patchy - phpvsfiid 1107277
    2C—112 to 145 centimeters (44.1 to 57.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) clay loam; 32 percent clay; firm; 3.0 fine tubular pores; carbonate coats on lower surfaces of peds or rocks; 3 percent fine carbonate concretions; 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; slight effervescence.
