    Cg3—187 to 279 centimeters (73.6 to 109.8 inches); 50 percent light gray (10YR 7/1) and 50 percent light gray (10YR 7/2) loamy coarse sand; weak single grain; very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; fragments. Lab sample # 95P04150. Between the Cg2 and Cg3 horizons there was a 2 inch (from 73 to 75 inches) deposit that was not sampled separately. The matrix color was (10YR 5/3) with (7.5YR 3/2) concentrations (m,m,p) and (7.5YR 4/6) iron concentrations with (7.5YR 5/8) around their circumference. The texture is a sandy clay loam.
