    Oi—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); 4.0 very fine to medium roots throughout; 20 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; clear wavy boundary.
    L—2 to 0 centimeters (0.8 to 0.0 inches); fragments.
    Oe—3 to 8 centimeters (1.2 to 3.1 inches); 8.0 very fine to medium roots throughout; 20 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; abrupt wavy boundary.
    Oa—8 to 13 centimeters (3.1 to 5.1 inches); black (7.5YR 2/1) broken face; moderate medium granular structure; very friable; 6.0 very fine to coarse roots throughout; 40 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; clear wavy boundary.
    A—13 to 25 centimeters (5.1 to 9.8 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) broken face; moderate medium granular structure; very friable; 6.0 very fine to coarse roots throughout; 40 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; clear wavy boundary.
    BE—25 to 33 centimeters (9.8 to 13.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) broken face; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 4.0 fine to coarse roots between peds; 30 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; clear wavy boundary.
    Bt1—33 to 46 centimeters (13.0 to 18.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) broken face; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 fine to coarse roots between peds; 35 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone-shale fragments; gradual wavy boundary.
    Bt2—46 to 78 centimeters (18.1 to 30.7 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) broken face; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 0.9 fine and medium roots between peds; 45 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone-shale fragments; gradual wavy boundary.
    Bt3—78 to 110 centimeters (30.7 to 43.3 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) broken face; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 0.5 fine and medium roots between peds; 50 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone-shale fragments; clear wavy boundary.
