    C1—70 to 92 centimeters (27.6 to 36.2 inches); dark reddish brown (2.5YR 3/4), reddish brown (2.5YR 5/3), dry; clay; 3 percent white (10YR 8/1) fine and medium mottles; 30 percent clay films; fragments; noneffervescent. Lab sample # 40A27702. This may be a old truncated B horizon. The material looks clayey and has what appears to be moderately thick clay skins on all surfaces. In place it is very compact and very hard to dig, and has high bulk density. It digs out in plates 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick that break easily to strong very fine blocks. Hard when dry and moist. Cannot be moistened and rubbed to a plastic mass—it remains harsh and crisp to the feel. The white mottles are calcareous, but the matrix is noncalcareous. On the tops of some the thick plates is a lime crust 1 to 2 mm thick.
