    C3—99 to 152 centimeters (39.0 to 59.8 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; fine sand; single grain; soft, very friable; fragments. Lab sample # 40A18238. This horizon is slightly darker than the one above, apparently accumulated gradually under vegetation allowing some darkening of the material as it was deposited. On the other hand, it could represent dark surface material blown from the adjacent lower slopes or the nearby valley.
