    A1—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); black (10YR 2/1) Error; moderate fine and medium granular structure; very friable; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015270
    Ap—0 to 23 centimeters (0.0 to 9.1 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak fine granular structure; very friable; fragments; clear irregular boundary. Sample taken from nearby plowed field for comparison.
    Ag2—10 to 28 centimeters (3.9 to 11.0 inches); gray (5Y 6/1) Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 1 percent medium faint yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium and coarse faint light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015271. The 10YR 5/6 mottles occur discontinuously in the lower part of the horizon.
    Ag2—23 to 30 centimeters (9.1 to 11.8 inches); grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 1 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium and coarse faint light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Sample from nearby plowed field. The 10YR 5/6 mottles occur discontinuously in the lower part of the horizon.
    Bg21—28 to 46 centimeters (11.0 to 18.1 inches); light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) Error; moderate medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; firm; 11 percent medium faint light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 11 percent medium and coarse distinct strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015272. The brown areas seem to contain more fines than the gray areas.
    Bx—46 to 64 centimeters (18.1 to 25.2 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; strong very coarse platy structure; 33 percent coarse distinct light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist, masses of reduced iron; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015273. Horizon designated as B22x & B31. 10% of horizon is discontinuous seams & pockets of 2.5Y 5/2 fine & medium sand with common coarse faint mottles of 2.5Y 5/4, single grain structure, loose. Lower boundary is a layer of siltstone.

Lab sample # OSU0015275. Horizon designated as B22x & B31. 10% of horizon is discontinuous seams & pockets of 2.5Y 5/2 fine & medium sand with common coarse faint mottles of 2.5Y 5/4, single grain structure, loose. Lower boundary is a layer of siltstone.
    Bx—64 to 76 centimeters (25.2 to 29.9 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; strong very coarse platy structure; 33 percent coarse distinct light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist, masses of reduced iron; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; abrupt smooth boundary.
