    Ap1—0 to 8 centimeters (0.0 to 3.1 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011969. Slightly lighter color when crushed.
    Ap2—8 to 18 centimeters (3.1 to 7.1 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; fine subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.4; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011970. Some E characteristics have developed in this horizon.
    B1—18 to 28 centimeters (7.1 to 11.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; faint clay films; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; gradual smooth boundary.

    B2—28 to 38 centimeters (11.0 to 15.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; moderate medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; faint clay films; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011972. Clay films are more evident than in the above horizon.; continuous - phpvsfiid 1055424; continuous - phpvsfiid 1055424
    BC—38 to 48 centimeters (15.0 to 18.9 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; faint clay films; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0011973. continuous - phpvsfiid 1055425; continuous - phpvsfiid 1055425
    C1—48 to 61 centimeters (18.9 to 24.0 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; very firm; faint clay films on faces of peds; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.6. Lab sample # OSU0011974. Clay films appear to be thicker on the vertical surfaces. This layer may be part of the B horizon, but most descriptions usually consider it to be a C horizon. Olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) shale fragments are present. The non-sticky nature of this layer make
    C2—61 to 74 centimeters (24.0 to 29.1 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; very firm; faint clay films on faces of peds; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.6. Lab sample # OSU0011975. Clay films appear to be thicker on the vertical surfaces. This layer may be part of the B horizon, but most descriptions usually consider it to be a C horizon. Olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) shale fragments are present. The non-sticky nature of this layer make
    C3—74 to 97 centimeters (29.1 to 38.2 inches); grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) Error; massive; very firm; faint clay films on faces of peds; manganese coatings and 11 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6. Lab sample # OSU0011976. The non-sticky nature of this layer makes it difficult to evaluate for texture.
