    Ao—0 to 1 centimeters (0.0 to 0.4 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A29610. Organic horizons too thin to be sampled separately, consisting mainly of undecomposed forest debris of branches, bark, and evergreen needles, but with a very thin partially decomposed horizon at its base.
    A1—1 to 5 centimeters (0.4 to 2.0 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), gray (10YR 5/1), dry; gravelly sandy loam; weak very fine platy parts to moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29611
    A2—5 to 21 centimeters (2.0 to 8.3 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; gravelly loamy sand; weak fine platy parts to moderate medium granular structure; soft, very friable; 40 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.8, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29612. This horizon is very vesicular and contains many medium-sized pores; about 40 percent of the horizon is gravel.
    B1—21 to 49 centimeters (8.3 to 19.3 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; stony sandy loam; weak and moderate fine subangular blocky structure; soft, very friable; yellow (10YR 8/6) clay films on horizontal faces of peds; 25 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 25 percent by volume 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29613. This horizon contains aggregates of material similar to those of the underlying horizon but which are completely enclosed and surrounded by light-colored material similar to that of the overlying horizon. Some of the aggregates in this horizon have thick continuous clay skins and in some parts of the horizon thick gelatinous seams of bright-colored clay-like material occur between the rocks and in natural cleavage plains.; continuous - phpvsfiid 197038; continuous - phpvsfiid 197038
    B2t—49 to 75 centimeters (19.3 to 29.5 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4), light brown (7.5YR 6/3), dry; stony sandy clay loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; hard, friable; clay films on faces of peds; 20 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 20 percent by volume 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29614. continuous - phpvsfiid 187807; continuous - phpvsfiid 187807
    B3—75 to 85 centimeters (29.5 to 33.5 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; stony sandy loam; weak medium granular, and single grain; slightly hard, very friable; coats on rock fragments and 10 percent clay films on faces of peds; 20 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 20 percent by volume 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29615
    C—85 to 115 centimeters (33.5 to 45.3 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; Error; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A29616. This horizon is principally disintegrated granite and biotite schist.
