    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) Error; weak very thick platy structure; friable; coarse faint dark brown (10YR 3/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 1 percent fine distinct dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 33 percent fine faint light gray (10YR 7/1), moist, masses of reduced iron; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010654. Nonsticky and nonplastic when wet. Occasional resistant glacial pebbles.
    A2—20 to 30 centimeters (7.9 to 11.8 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) Error; platy structure; friable; 33 percent medium prominent 10YR 4/8 (10YR 4/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 33 percent medium prominent brownish yellow (10YR 6/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 33 percent fine and medium faint very pale brown (10YR 7/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010655. Nonsticky and nonplastic when wet. Occasional resistant glacial pebbles. This horizon has a higher proportion of 10YR 6/1 than any other horizon at this site.
