    A1—0 to 8 centimeters (0.0 to 3.1 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) Error; moderate fine and medium granular structure; firm; 15 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.4; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015491. Estimated permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse skeleton of limestone fragments 0.25 to 2 inches on long axis.
    A2—8 to 24 centimeters (3.1 to 9.4 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) Error; moderate fine and medium angular blocky structure; firm; 25 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.4; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015492. Estimated permeability is moderate. Coarse skeleton of limestone fragments 0.25 to 3 inches on long axis.
    B—24 to 38 centimeters (9.4 to 15.0 inches); dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) and grayish brown (10YR 5/2) Error; moderate medium angular blocky structure; very firm; 30 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.4; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015493. Estimated permeability is moderately slow. Coarse skeleton of limestone fragments 1 to 3 inches on long axis. Limestone 8 to 10 inches on long axis occupied about 15% by weight in this horizon.
    BC—38 to 56 centimeters (15.0 to 22.0 inches); reddish brown (5YR 4/3) and light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) Error; firm; 30 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.4; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015494. Mixed colors. Estimated permeability is moderately slow. Coarse skeleton of limestone fragments 1 to 3 inches on long axis.
    2C1—56 to 71 centimeters (22.0 to 28.0 inches); olive gray (5Y 5/2) Error; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015495. Slightly weathered non-calcareous shale. Most of the material can be crushed under strong pressure between the thumb and forefinger yielding a crushed material with clay loam texture. Highly calcareous material from the overlying horizon occurs within the
    3C2—71 to 109 centimeters (28.0 to 42.9 inches); very dark gray (5YR 3/1) and gray (5YR 6/1) Error; fragments; strong effervescence; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015496. Mixed colors. Slightly weathered highly calcareous shale. The 5YR 6/1 colors effervesce more strongly than the 5YR 3/1 colors. Most of the material can be crushed under strong pressure between the thumb and forefinger yielding a crushed material with silt
    3R—109 to 114 centimeters (42.9 to 44.9 inches); very dark gray (5YR 3/1); fragments; strong effervescence. Consolidated shale like 3 C2 but it is more compact and appears unweathered.
