Lab sample # 08N04382; moist when described; observed in trench. Horizon designation was changed from Cy to Cdyz because lab data showed some of the accumulations to be salts more soluble than gypsum rather than just gypsum. The "d" was added to indicate densic material supported by the lab measured bulk density.

Lab sample # 08N04383; moist when described; observed in trench. Horizon designation was changed from Cdy to Cdz because lab data showed the accumulations to be salts more soluble than gypsum rather than gypsum. Only trace amounts of gypsum were measured by the laboratory.
