    1A—0 to 12 centimeters (0.0 to 4.7 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3) interior and reddish brown (5YR 4/4) interior clay; moderate fine and medium granular structure; firm, very sticky, very plastic; 5.5 very fine and fine roots and 1.0 medium and coarse roots; 5.5 fine and medium interstitial and tubular and 2.5 coarse tubular pores; 30 percent worm nodules; fragments; clear irregular boundary. Lab sample # 84P01166. Colors mixed in a fine pattern. Few coral pebbles.; many worm nodules concentrations; many very fine and fine roots; few to common medium and coarse roots
    1B/A—12 to 20 centimeters (4.7 to 7.9 inches); 5YR 4/8 (5YR 4/8) interior and reddish brown (5YR 4/4) interior gravelly clay; strong fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm, very sticky, very plastic; 5.5 very fine and fine roots and 0.5 medium roots; 5.5 fine and medium interstitial and tubular and 2.5 coarse tubular pores; 30 percent worm nodules; fragments; clear irregular boundary. Lab sample # 84P01167. Colors in fine patches. About 15 percent gravel.; many worm nodules concentrations; many very fine and fine roots; few medium roots
    1C—20 to 40 centimeters (7.9 to 15.7 inches); yellowish red (5YR 5/6) interior very gravelly clay; moderate fine subangular blocky structure; firm, very sticky, very plastic; 2.5 very fine and fine roots; 2.5 very fine and fine tubular and 0.5 medium tubular pores; fragments; gradual irregular boundary. Lab sample # 84P01168. Many very fine through medium interstitial pores. About 50 percentirregular porous coral gravel. Many pebbles may be artifacts of observation. Most had small clean breaks which may indicate that they were attached in place into a skeletal or; common very fine and fine roots
