    Oi—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); slightly decomposed plant material; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03493. Not sampled. Forest floor, consisting of loose white pine needles on the surface underlain by partially decomposed white pine needles.
    A—5 to 10 centimeters (2.0 to 3.9 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) and very dark brown (10YR 2/2) highly organic loamy coarse sand; friable; 21.0 roots; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03494. Contains a marked lack of coarse skeleton as compared to the horizons below. Darker at the top than at the bottom, being black on top and brown at the bottom. There was a trace of bleicherde (albic) at the top and also evidence of recent faunal action as noted by mounds of B21 horizon material in a few places.
    Bw1—10 to 25 centimeters (3.9 to 9.8 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) stony loamy coarse sand; weak fine granular structure; friable; 21.0 roots; 25 percent by volume 250-?-300 millimeter mixed fragments observed by visual inspection method. Lab sample # 40A03495. Stones ranging up to 10 or 12 inches in diameter are fairly frequent in the hole; these were probably located roughly at one foot distances from each other with smaller ones between.
    Bw2—25 to 56 centimeters (9.8 to 22.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) stony loamy coarse sand; weak fine granular structure; friable; 21.0 roots; 25 percent by volume 250-?-300 millimeter mixed fragments observed by visual inspection method. Lab sample # 40A03496. Stones ranging up to 10 or 12 inches in diameter are fairly frequent in the hole; these were probably located roughly at one foot distances from each other with smaller ones between.
    Bw3—56 to 71 centimeters (22.0 to 28.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) and light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) and olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) stony loamy coarse sand; weak fine granular structure; friable; 21.0 roots; 25 percent by volume 250-?-300 millimeter mixed fragments observed by visual inspection method. Lab sample # 40A03497. Much like the horizon above but with fewer roots.
    C—71 to 76 centimeters (28.0 to 29.9 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) and olive (5Y 5/3) stony loamy coarse sand; single grain; very friable; 25 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter quartzite fragments and 25 percent by volume 250-?-300 millimeter mixed fragments and 30 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter schist, unspecified fragments. Lab sample # 40A03498. 30 percent coarse skeleton of mica schist and quartzite smaller than 2-3 inches in diameter and probably 20-30 percent of greater size than this.
