    Ao—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A29617. This is a thin organic mat made up mostly of undecomposed pine needles, leaves, and grass remains, but having its lower portion moderately well decomposed. It rests abruptly on the horizon below.
    A1—3 to 8 centimeters (1.2 to 3.1 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; gravelly sandy loam; moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; 25 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29618
    A2—8 to 23 centimeters (3.1 to 9.1 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2), light gray (10YR 7/2), dry; gravelly loamy sand; 3 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) distinct mottles; weak fine platy parts to moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; 40 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29619
    B1—23 to 36 centimeters (9.1 to 14.2 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), very pale brown (10YR 7/3), dry; gravelly sandy loam; weak medium subangular blocky parts to moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; 10 percent clay films on faces of peds; 40 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29620. This horizon contains some aggregates similar in character to those of the horizon below but these are imbedded in light-colored material similar to that of the overlying horizon; there are a few thin continuous clay skins on some of the soil aggregates, and in some portions of the horizon seams of clay-like material are visible.; continuous - phpvsfiid 197031; continuous - phpvsfiid 197031
    B2t—36 to 49 centimeters (14.2 to 19.3 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; stony sandy clay loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; hard, friable; clay films on faces of peds; 30 percent by volume 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments and 35 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; diffuse irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A29621. Some gray coating material occurs on the surface of the soil aggregates in this horizon.; continuous - phpvsfiid 197032; continuous - phpvsfiid 197032
    Cr—49 to 89 centimeters (19.3 to 35.0 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A29622. This horizon is mainly weathered granite and biotite schist. The material is partially indurated but usually can be broken between the thumb and finger. Its consistence increases with depth.
