    Ap—0 to 23 centimeters (0.0 to 9.1 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) Error; medium and coarse granular structure; friable; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.3; abrupt irregular boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014887. There is structural evidence in the upper 2 inches of a new or different horizon forming in the Ap.
    BA—23 to 30 centimeters (9.1 to 11.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) and gray (10YR 6/1) Error; firm; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014888. Mixture of matrix colors. Peds are degrading. This horizon is vertically dissected by many tongues of Ap.
    B1—30 to 46 centimeters (11.8 to 18.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) Error; prismatic, and weak subangular blocky structure; firm; 0.9 pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014889. Numerous tongues on ped faces from upper horizon fading to gray (10YR 5/1) in lower portion of this horizon. Flecks of weathered shale, sandstone, and igneous pebbles occur throughout the horizon increasing with depth. pH is 5.8 to 6.3.
