    1A 1—8 to 15 centimeters (3.1 to 5.9 inches); reddish brown (5YR 4/4) interior, dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) interior, moist; clay loam; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; very hard, firm, moderately sticky; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A34146. noncalcareous; few fine ferromanganese concrtns.
    1B 21t—15 to 58 centimeters (5.9 to 22.8 inches);, dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) interior, moist; clay; moderate medium blocky structure; very hard, very firm, very sticky; 0.5 fine roots; fragments; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A34147. noncalcareous; few ferromanganese concrtns.; few fine roots
    1B 22t—58 to 124 centimeters (22.8 to 48.8 inches); reddish brown (5YR 5/4) interior, reddish brown (5YR 4/4) interior, moist; clay; moderate medium blocky structure; extremely hard, very firm, very sticky; 1 percent iron-manganese concretions; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A34148. a few weakly cemented CaCo3 concrtns and soft masses that occupy less than 1% of the mass.; few iron-manganese concretions concentrations
