    Ap—0 to 25 centimeters (0.0 to 9.8 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; silt loam; weak fine granular, and massive; hard; 21.0 fine roots; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A01914. This appeared to be a traffic pan.
    B2—25 to 38 centimeters (9.8 to 15.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4), light brown (7.5YR 6/4), dry; silt loam; weak medium platy structure; very friable; 21.0 fine roots; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01915. Structure possibly related to traffic; boundary depth depends upon plowing. This could be considered a color B or as an A2 horizon relative to the more clayey fragipan.
    A'2—38 to 51 centimeters (15.0 to 20.1 inches); light brown (7.5YR 6/3) and pinkish gray (7.5YR 6/2) silt loam; 1 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) fine and 3 percent brown (7.5YR 4/4) fine mottles; strong thin platy structure; hard, firm; 3.0 fine roots; 3.0 fine and medium pores; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, unspecified; abrupt irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A01916. Common very thin bands of brown (7.5YR 4/4) slightly more silty material in an intricate pattern when observed on a vertical surface. This horizon caps prisms of the horizon below and extends downward around them as thin V-shaped bodies to depths of 36 inches.
    B'x1t—51 to 81 centimeters (20.1 to 31.9 inches); silt loam; very coarse prismatic, and massive, and moderate thin platy; very firm; coats on faces of peds; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01917. Prisms separated by 7.5YR 6/2 extensions of the A'2 above. These wedge-shaped extensions taper from 4 inches wide at the top to 1/2 inch wide at 26 inches and end mainly at 36 inches. The outer 1/4 to 1/2 inch of prism is brown to strong brown (7.5YR 5/4-5/6) silt loam forming a ring around the prism. Inside the rings are bands of silt loam (7.5YR 4/4) 1/2 to 2 inches wide separated by discontinuous bands of light brown (7.5YR 6/3) coarse loam in the upper 3 inches. Silt loam is nearly continuous in the lower 9 inches but includes 1/2 to 1 inch spherical bodies and very few thin bands of 7.5YR 6/3 coarse silt loam. Material between prisms and the upper degraded part were excluded from sample.
    B'x2—81 to 112 centimeters (31.9 to 44.1 inches); silt loam; moderate medium platy, and thick platy structure; firm; 0.5 roots; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A01918. Horizontal bands of dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) silt loam 1 to 4 inches wide are separated by 1/8 to 1/2 inch discontinuous bands of light brown (7.5YR 6/3) very fine sandy loam with common 7.5YR 5/6 mottles. There are also few 1/2 to 1-1/2 inch pockets of 7.5YR 6/3 very fine sandy loam material within the darker silt loam material within the darker silt loam portions. The whole is divided into 12 to 24 inch prisms by extensions of A'2 material from above.
    C1—112 to 130 centimeters (44.1 to 51.2 inches); light brown (7.5YR 6/3) silt loam; brown (7.5YR 5/4) and 21 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) medium mottles; firm; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A01919. Few widely spaced bands of dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) finer silt loam in definite strata. Structureless within strata. Vertical planes 20 to 30 inches apart extend from prism faces above and are bounded by a 7.5YR 5/6 rim. Roots present only in vertical cleavage planes.
    C2—130 to 142 centimeters (51.2 to 55.9 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) and pinkish gray (7.5YR 6/2) silt loam, very fine sandy loam; 21 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) coarse mottles; platy structure; firm; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A01920. Very fine sandy loam varves 1/4 inch thick and 1 to 2 inches apart. Mottles occur in varves. Common vertical 2 to 4 mm holes lines with wax-like material are bounded by 1/8 inch of 7.5YR 6/2 very fine sand within 1/4 inch of 7.5YR 5/6 silt loam. These extend through all varves. Extension of a few vertical cleavage planes from prisms above divide the horizon into very large prisms 30 to 50 inches across.
    C3—142 to 183 centimeters (55.9 to 72.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/2) silt loam; 3 percent brown (7.5YR 5/4) coarse mottles; massive; firm; 0.0 roots; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A01921. Silt loam separated by very thin pinkish gray (7.5YR 6/2) varves of very fine sand. Many vertical cylinders 2 to 4 mm in diameter of 10YR 6/2 very fine sandy loam extend through all varves and are continuations of the vertical holes described above. These are bounded by 1/4 inch of 7/5YR 5/8-6/8 silt loam. One vertical cleavage plane extended through this horizon within the 3-1/2 x 7 foot pit. Arbitrarily divided from horizon below.
    C4—183 to 213 centimeters (72.0 to 83.9 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/3) silt loam; 3 percent brown (7.5YR 5/4) coarse mottles; massive; firm; 0.0 roots; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A01922. Description of C21 above applies. Arbitrarily separated for sampling.
