    A1—0 to 14 centimeters (0.0 to 5.5 inches); black (10YR 2/1) exterior and very dark gray (10YR 3/1) crushed silty clay; strong medium angular blocky parts to weak medium granular structure; very hard, very firm, very sticky, very plastic; 6.0 very fine to medium roots throughout; 3.0 very fine and fine moderate-continuity tubular pores; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 98P00401. This area contained interconnected gilgai.
