    O1—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) Error; fragments; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010729. Many partially decayed leaves, stems, blades, and roots.
    15 to 30 centimeters (5.9 to 11.8 inches); black (10YR 2/1) Error; massive; fragments; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010730. Exhibits a vesicular, spongy appearance; many partially decayed leaves, stems, blades and roots; the leaves, stems and blades produce dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) stains.
    O1—30 to 46 centimeters (11.8 to 18.1 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) and black (10YR 2/1) Error; massive; 7.0 roots; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010731. Partially decayed leaves, stems and blades produce dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) stains.
    O1—46 to 61 centimeters (18.1 to 24.0 inches); black (10YR 2/1) and very dark brown (10YR 2/2) Error; massive; 7.0 roots; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010732. Partially decayed leaves, stems and blades produce dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) stains.
    O1—61 to 84 centimeters (24.0 to 33.1 inches); very dark gray (5Y 3/1) Error; lenticular platy structure; 33 percent medium distinct olive (5Y 4/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 33 percent medium distinct olive (5Y 4/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0010733. Occasional dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) stains produced by partially decayed organic plant residue. There is a probable slight increase in silt content over above horizon.
    84 to 104 centimeters (33.1 to 40.9 inches); gray (5Y 5/1) Error; massive; 1 percent fine distinct olive (5Y 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments. Lab sample # OSU0010734
