Lab sample # PSU06322. 65 percent rock fragments. Extremely acid.
    C1—36 to 72 centimeters (14.2 to 28.3 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) interior and brownish yellow (10YR 6/8) interior very channery loam; weak coarse granular structure; firm, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 10 percent by volume ? to 250-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 10 percent by volume ? to 48-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume ? to 11-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 30 percent by volume ? to 163-? millimeter unspecified fragments; extremely acid, pH 4.0, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # PSU06323. Variegated with about 35% brownish yellow (10YR 6/8). 65 percent rock fragments. Extremely acid.
    C2—72 to 112 centimeters (28.3 to 44.1 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1) interior and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) interior very channery loam; weak coarse granular structure; firm, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 15 percent by volume ? to 48-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume ? to 163-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume ? to 11-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 20 percent by volume ? to 250-? millimeter unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.6, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary.

    C3—112 to 155 centimeters (44.1 to 61.0 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2) interior and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) interior very channery loam; weak coarse granular structure; firm, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 15 percent by volume ? to 11-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume ? to 48-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume ? to 163-? millimeter unspecified fragments and 20 percent by volume ? to 250-? millimeter unspecified fragments; extremely acid, pH 4.0, unspecified. Lab sample # PSU06325. Varigated with about 15% yellowish brown (10YR 5/6 and 5/8). 65% rock fragments. Extremely acid. It was difficult to excavate below 60 inches because of the increase in number of rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter.
