    Ap—0 to 36 centimeters (0.0 to 14.2 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; very fine sandy loam; weak fine and medium granular structure; friable; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, unspecified; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # 40A03508. Well matted with grass roots. Clods 1/2 to 1 inch are common when the soil is dug out. This plow layer is deeper than common.
    Bw1—36 to 56 centimeters (14.2 to 22.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) silt loam; massive parts to weak fine granular; friable; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03509. Breaks out to 1-4 inch diameter angular clods on which no natural faces occur. Earthworm tunnels filled with Ap material are common, one or two occurring on any 12 inch wide profile faces. Night-crawlers were observed in several of these tunnels. The tunnels extend to a depth of about 20-30 inches, seldom deeper. 3 or 4 inches under plow layer but do not occur deeper. Mica is present but not conspicuous. Charcoal fragments, some as large as 1/2 inch in diameter are common.
    Bw2—56 to 76 centimeters (22.0 to 29.9 inches); very fine sandy loam; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A03510. Much like the horizon above but with no charcoal and with fewer earthworm tunnels. This was not definitely lighter than the horizon above and perhaps could have been considered as the lower part of the B21 horizon.
    C—76 to 102 centimeters (29.9 to 40.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) loamy fine sand; massive parts to single grain; friable; 3.0 roots; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A03511. Diagonally oriented surfaces with dull pressure faces occur at intervals. These seem to be related to stratification and are probably inherited rather than developed. They are not visible on the vertical faces but only when the soil is dug out.
    Cg—102 to 137 centimeters (40.2 to 53.9 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) fine sand; massive parts to single grain; friable; brittle; 3 percent coarse distinct strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), moist, and olive brown (2.5Y 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A03512
