Lab sample # KSUSS4795. Originally described- B21t; light gray (10YR 7/1) silt coatings on peds in upper 4 cm; many, vertical streaks of very dark brown (10YR 2/2) and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4); weak, fine prismatic structure parting to weak, very fine, angular blocky structure; thin discontinus clay films; black concretions; few fine chert fragments; medium acid. The horizon designation was up-dated to current standards. Vertical streaks of very dark brown was interpeted as "Organic Stains" on vertical faces of peds. Vertical streaks of dark yellowish brown are interpreted as "masses of oxidized iron" based on the color. "Black concretions" are currently interpreted to mean "10YR 2/1 iron- manganese concretions". There was no percentage given for redoximorphic features or clay films. Therefore, nothing was populated. No pH value was given for "medium acid". Therefore, nothing was populated. ; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 933656; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 933656
