    AP—0 to 23 centimeters (0.0 to 9.1 inches); black (10YR 2/1) clay; weak medium granular structure; very sticky, moderately plastic; 21.0 roots; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A03938. Soil subject to severe surface cracking.
    C1—23 to 46 centimeters (9.1 to 18.1 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) clay; massive; very sticky, moderately plastic; 0.5 roots; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A03939. This horizon appears to be more compact, probably because of tillage; few volcanic fragments; slickenside faces are evident.
    C2—46 to 69 centimeters (18.1 to 27.2 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) clay; massive; very sticky, moderately plastic; 0.5 roots; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A03940. Slickenside faces are evident; few volcanic fragments.
    C3—69 to 89 centimeters (27.2 to 35.0 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) clay; massive; very sticky, moderately plastic; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A03941. Slickenside faces are evident; common medium lime splotches.
    C4—89 to 122 centimeters (35.0 to 48.0 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) clay; massive; very sticky, moderately plastic; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03942. Slickenside faces are evident; most cracks extend to this depth; arbitrary boundary.
    C5—122 to 152 centimeters (48.0 to 59.8 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3) clay; massive; very sticky, moderately plastic; 3 percent fine black (10YR 2/1) dark concretions; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A03943. Occasional cracks to this depth with some slickenside faces; few medium lime splotches.
    C6—152 to 183 centimeters (59.8 to 72.0 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) clay; massive; very sticky, moderately plastic; 3 percent black (10YR 2/1) dark concretions; 3 percent carbonate concretions; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03944
