    Ag—0 to 38 centimeters (0.0 to 15.0 inches); black (N 2/0) sandy clay loam; 1 percent dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2) medium distinct mottles; moderately sticky; fragments; slight effervescence, by hcl, unspecified; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # NDSU1875, NDSU1876; moist when described;. Soils were sampled for laboratory analysis in 15cm increments. Profile was moist to surface when sampled. Coarse fragments 1-5%. KCI extractable iron tests were performed on the 0-15 and 45-60cm increments. Both tested negative. H2s odor ranks as a Class by Darmody whiff test.
