    Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) silt loam; weak fine granular structure; very friable; 21.0 roots; 1 percent worm casts; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A36879
    B1—18 to 28 centimeters (7.1 to 11.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) silt loam; 3 percent dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) medium faint mottles; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 21.0 roots; 21 percent dark brown (10YR 3/3) dark concretions; 3 percent worm casts; fragments; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A36880
    B21—28 to 46 centimeters (11.0 to 18.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and brown (7.5YR 4/4) silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 21.0 roots; 10 percent clay films and 30 percent pale brown (10YR 6/3), moist, silt coats on faces of peds; 3 percent worm casts; fragments; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A36881
