    A1—0 to 17 centimeters (0.0 to 6.7 inches); loam; moderate fine granular structure; very friable; 2-3-4 millimeter limestone, unspecified fragments; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS4868
    B2t—17 to 38 centimeters (6.7 to 15.0 inches); loam; moderate fine granular structure; very friable; thin clay films on vertical faces of peds; 2-3-4 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS4869
    C—38 to 68 centimeters (15.0 to 26.8 inches); channery loam; massive; friable; fragments; abrupt irregular boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS4870
    Cr—68 to 81 centimeters (26.8 to 31.9 inches); bedrock; fragments. Lab sample # KSUSS4871. weathered yellowish brown fine- grained sandstone; this horizon appears to be very highly weathered and will not be cemented and will slake, after analysis it is more properly a C horizon and not a Cr as described
