    Ap—0 to 13 centimeters (0.0 to 5.1 inches); black (10YR 2/1), dark gray (10YR 4/1), dry; weak coarse subangular blocky parts to weak medium structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; fragments. Lab sample # 40A0328. Approximately 30 percent of the volume of this horizon is composed of B horizon material which has been mixed with the A in plowing. This material has the color and texture of the material in the B21 horizon.
    B21—13 to 33 centimeters (5.1 to 13.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; strong medium prismatic parts to strong fine and medium angular blocky structure; hard, firm, moderately sticky, slightly plastic; faint clay films on faces of peds; fragments; clear irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A0329. The colors in this horizon have a hue slightly redder than (10YR); this is especially true near the top of the horizon.; patchy - phpvsfiid 89891; patchy - phpvsfiid 89891
    B22—33 to 48 centimeters (13.0 to 18.9 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/3), light olive brown (2.5Y 5/3), dry; strong coarse prismatic parts to strong coarse angular blocky structure; very hard, firm, moderately sticky, slightly plastic; faint clay films on faces of peds and distinct clay films on faces of peds; fragments; clear irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A0330. The colors of this horizon have a hue slightly redder than (2.5Y).; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 89893; continuous - phpvsfiid 89892; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 89893; continuous - phpvsfiid 89892
    Cca—48 to 71 centimeters (18.9 to 28.0 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4), light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), dry; 1 percent reddish brown (2.5YR 5/3) fine prominent mottles; moderate coarse prismatic parts to moderate medium angular blocky structure; very hard, friable, moderately sticky, slightly plastic; faint clay films on vertical faces of peds; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A0331. patchy - phpvsfiid 89894; patchy - phpvsfiid 89894
    Ccs—71 to 99 centimeters (28.0 to 39.0 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4), light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), dry; 1 percent reddish brown (2.5YR 5/3) fine prominent mottles; weak coarse prismatic parts to weak thin platy parts to moderate very fine subangular blocky structure; very hard, friable, moderately sticky, slightly plastic; 21 percent coarse white (10YR 8/1) gypsum crystals, unspecified; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A0332. Gypsum crystals occur in clusters up to one inch in diameter.
    C21—99 to 124 centimeters (39.0 to 48.8 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), dry; brown (7.5YR 4/4) and 3 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) fine prominent mottles; weak very coarse prismatic parts to moderate medium platy parts to weak fine subangular blocky structure; very hard, friable, moderately sticky, slightly plastic; 1 percent fine white (10YR 8/1) gypsum threads; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A0333
    C22—124 to 152 centimeters (48.8 to 59.8 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/3), light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), dry; yellowish red (5YR 5/6) and dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) and reddish brown (5YR 4/4) and 3 percent yellowish red (5YR 4/6) medium prominent mottles; weak very coarse prismatic parts to moderate thick platy parts to moderate fine subangular blocky structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3 percent medium white (10YR 8/1) gypsum crystals, unspecified; fragments.
