    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; fine and medium subangular blocky structure; 1 percent medium distinct brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 6.8; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010594. Dry color 10YR 6/2; mottles appear to be material from lower horizon mixed in by plowing; Hard when dry.
    E—20 to 30 centimeters (7.9 to 11.8 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and brown (10YR 5/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium distinct brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010595. Hard when dry; appears to be transition from A to B horizons, but looks and feels more like A than B. Structure is weaker than underlying horizons.
    BEg—30 to 43 centimeters (11.8 to 16.9 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2) Error; strong fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm; yellowish brown (10YR 5/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron and brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010596
    Btg1—43 to 71 centimeters (16.9 to 28.0 inches); gray (10YR 5/1) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; very firm; yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6. Lab sample # OSU0010597. Numerous crystalline pebbles that indicate that this horizon is weathered from till; no distinct boundary evident between horizon weathered from till and silt cap if one is present.
    Btg2—71 to 102 centimeters (28.0 to 40.2 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron and dark gray (7.5YR 4/1), moist, masses of reduced iron and 1 percent iron-manganese concretions and 33 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments. Lab sample # OSU0010598. Some indication of prismatic orientation. A few crystalline pebbles greater than 2 mm; neutral. This and the next 5 horizons should probably be called part of the lower B2 horizon. the profile between 40 and 90? was sampled with an orcard auger and it was
