    Ap1—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); 30 percent brown (10YR 4/3) and dark gray (10YR 4/1) Error; weak medium subangular blocky, and weak granular structure; friable; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; abrupt irregular boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011780
    Ap2—5 to 10 centimeters (2.0 to 3.9 inches); 30 percent dark gray (10YR 4/1) and brown (10YR 4/3) Error; weak medium subangular blocky, and weak granular structure; friable; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011781
    B1—10 to 23 centimeters (3.9 to 9.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak medium subangular blocky, and weak granular structure; friable; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011782. Subangular blocky structure is more resistant to rupture than in the above Ap horizon but does break down to weak fine granular, then to single grain. Coarse skeleton of sandstone channers (yellowish brown 10YR 5/8 with some black 10YR 2/1 streaks).
    B2—23 to 36 centimeters (9.1 to 14.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak medium subangular blocky, and weak granular structure; friable; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011783. Subangular blocky structure is more resistant to rupture than in the above Ap horizon but does break down to weak fine granular, then to single grain. Coarse skeleton of sandstone channers (yellowish brown 10YR 5/8 with some black 10YR 2/1 streaks).
    CB—36 to 48 centimeters (14.2 to 18.9 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; single grain; friable; 80 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011784. Coarse skeleton of sandstone channers.
    Cr—48 to 53 centimeters (18.9 to 20.9 inches); fragments. Stopped by fractured, poorly cemented, coarse-grained sandstone. Not sampled.
