    Ap1—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) Error; moderate coarse subangular blocky, and weak granular structure; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5. Lab sample # OSU0013496. Less than 5% of this horizon is composed of the BE1 mixed in by plowing.
    Ap2—10 to 20 centimeters (3.9 to 7.9 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) Error; moderate coarse subangular blocky, and weak granular structure; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013497. Less than 5% of this horizon is composed of the BE1 mixed in by plowing.
    BE1—20 to 33 centimeters (7.9 to 13.0 inches); reddish brown (5YR 4/4) Error; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013498
    BE2—33 to 44 centimeters (13.0 to 17.3 inches); reddish brown (5YR 4/4) Error; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 15 percent faint clay films on faces of peds; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013499
    BE3—44 to 58 centimeters (17.3 to 22.8 inches); reddish brown (5YR 4/4) Error; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm; faint clay films on faces of peds; 10 percent iron-manganese concretions; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013500
