    Ao—0 to 1 centimeters (0.0 to 0.4 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A29623. This horizon is a very thin mat of organic material in both decomposed and undecomposed forms. The undecomposed portions are mainly spruce and fir needles.
    A1—1 to 4 centimeters (0.4 to 1.6 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1), gray (10YR 5/1), dry; gravelly sandy loam; moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; 25 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.8, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29624
    A21—4 to 9 centimeters (1.6 to 3.5 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; gravelly sandy loam; 1 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) faint mottles; weak fine platy parts to moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; 20 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29625
    A22—9 to 26 centimeters (3.5 to 10.2 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; gravelly loamy sand; 1 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) faint mottles; moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; 50 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; diffuse wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29626
    B1—26 to 47 centimeters (10.2 to 18.5 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; stony sandy loam; moderate fine granular structure; soft, very friable; clay films on horizontal faces of peds; 30 percent by volume 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments and 30 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A29627. Some of the aggregates in this horizon appear to be similar to that of the horizon below but are imbedded in a light-colored material similar to that of the horizon above; some of the soil aggregates have thin continuous clay skins and in some parts of the horizon thin seams of clay-like material are clearly visible.; continuous - phpvsfiid 197033; continuous - phpvsfiid 197033
    B2t—47 to 80 centimeters (18.5 to 31.5 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; very stony sandy clay loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; hard, friable; 75 percent clay films on faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A29628. The texture as given is that of the fine textured material which occurs between the rocks and gravel fragments; this horizon is mainly well-weathered granite and biotite schist with about 90 percent of the horizon being rock fragments. It is believed that this horizon represents the B2 horizons of this soil that is forming in the cracks between the rocks and may continued for some depth. It was impossible at this location to penetrate below 31 inches without an excessive amount of labor.
