    A—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2), brown (7.5YR 5/4), dry; very channery loam; weak fine subangular blocky, and weak medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 very fine roots; 40 percent by volume unspecified fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0746. Many moderately thick very dark brown (10YR 2/2) clay and organic films in the 2B/E1 and 2B/E2 horizons. Few soft round masses of jarosite with Fe O2 coatings in the 2Bt1 and 2Bt2. In the 2Bt3 there is a 3mm thick lens of gypsum at 49 inches. The 2B/E2 and 2Bt3 were sampled for engineering properties. The Bw is a fravtured layer of rock (silicate). Most of the rock has vertical and horizontal fractures. The individual pieces of rock are less than 4 inches in size. This horizon dug easily with the buckhoe and the fine earth fraction constitutes about 10 percent of the horizon. The induration of the 2B/E1 horizon is irregular in depth and hardness. The secondary structure is readily evident because of
    Bw—10 to 30 centimeters (3.9 to 11.8 inches); 10 percent very dark brown (10YR 2/2), 10 percent very dark brown (7.5YR 2/2), dry; extremely channery loam; massive; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 very fine roots; 90 percent by volume unspecified fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0747
    2B/E1—30 to 64 centimeters (11.8 to 25.2 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and light gray (10YR 7/2), dry; loam; strong very coarse prismatic structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 0.5 very fine roots between peds; 60 percent distinct very dark brown (10YR 2/2) clay films; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0749
    2B/E2—64 to 84 centimeters (25.2 to 33.1 inches); light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) and gray (10YR 5/1), light gray (10YR 7/2) and gray (10YR 6/1), dry; loam; strong coarse prismatic parts to moderate medium platy structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.1 very fine roots between peds; 60 percent distinct very dark brown (10YR 2/2) clay films; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0750
    2Bt1—84 to 91 centimeters (33.1 to 35.8 inches); light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) and very pale brown (10YR 7/3), light gray (10YR 7/2), dry; clay; moderate coarse prismatic parts to moderate medium platy, and strong very fine angular blocky structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.1 very fine roots between peds; 30 percent distinct clay films; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0751
    2Bt2—91 to 99 centimeters (35.8 to 39.0 inches); light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), light gray (10YR 7/2), dry; clay; moderate coarse prismatic parts to strong very fine angular blocky structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.1 very fine roots; 30 percent distinct clay films; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0752
    2Bty—99 to 107 centimeters (39.0 to 42.1 inches); light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), light gray (2.5Y 7/2), dry; clay; weak coarse prismatic parts to strong very fine angular blocky structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.1 very fine roots; 30 percent faint clay films; 25 percent fine gypsum masses; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # NDSU0753
    2Bt3—107 to 152 centimeters (42.1 to 59.8 inches); 70 percent light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) and 30 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), 70 percent light gray (2.5Y 7/2) and 30 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), dry; clay; weak coarse prismatic parts to strong very fine angular blocky structure; hard, friable, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.1 very fine roots; 10 percent faint clay films; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary.
