    Bss3—66 to 88 centimeters (26.0 to 34.6 inches);, brown (10YR 4/3), moist; silty clay; 55 percent clay; 4 percent dark gray (10YR 4/1) fine threadlike mottles; moderate medium prismatic parts to moderate fine angular blocky structure; firm, moderately sticky, very plastic; 0.5 very fine roots; 0.5 very fine tubular pores; 25 percent slickensides (pedogenic); 1 percent fine spherical iron-manganese masses throughout; fragments; noneffervescent; moderately alkaline, pH 8.0, hellige-truog; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 95P3910. Treated grey redox features w/alpha alpha, alpha dipyridyl. No redox. Then treated redox features w/Nadithinite, then alpha, alpha dipyridyl. Of 10 test, one was positive for reduced iron. Conclusion: There is in some, iron in the system. It is not reduced in the soil. Grey redox features are Fe depletions.
