    Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); gray (10YR 5/1) clay; 3 percent fine and medium faint and 3 percent fine and medium distinct mottles; weak subangular blocky parts to massive; moderately sticky, moderately plastic; 3.0 fine roots; coats; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, hellige-truog; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # 40A01841. This horizon contains more dark reddish brown coating of ped surfaces and root channels than horizon below.
    Bw—18 to 33 centimeters (7.1 to 13.0 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1) clay; fine distinct and 3 percent fine faint mottles; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; moderately sticky, moderately plastic; 3.0 fine roots; 0.5 fine pores; coats; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, hellige-truog; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A01842. Most of the brownish yellow mottling occurs inside the peds.
    Bss1—33 to 61 centimeters (13.0 to 24.0 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1) clay; 1 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) distinct and 3 percent brownish yellow (10YR 6/8) fine and medium faint mottles; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; moderately sticky, very plastic; 0.5 fine roots; 3.0 fine pores; slickensides (pedogenic) and coats; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, hellige-truog; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01843
    Bss2—61 to 81 centimeters (24.0 to 31.9 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1) clay; 1 percent distinct and 3 percent fine and medium faint mottles; moderately sticky, moderately plastic; 0.5 very fine roots; 3.0 very fine pores; slickensides (pedogenic); fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, hellige-truog; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01844. Structural units are moderately expressed in this horizon while only weakly expressed in horizon above. Slightly more sticky than horizon above.
    Bssg1—81 to 112 centimeters (31.9 to 44.1 inches); gray (10YR 5/1) clay; 1 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) medium distinct and 21 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) fine and medium mottles; moderately sticky, very plastic; 3.0 fine roots; 3.0 fine pores; slickensides (pedogenic); fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, hellige-truog; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01845
    Bssg2—112 to 152 centimeters (44.1 to 59.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) clay; moderately sticky, very plastic; 0.5 fine roots; 0.5 very fine pores; fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.5, hellige-truog. Lab sample # 40A01846
