Lab sample # 40A07729. contains one dark brown (10YR 4/3) band 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick; irregular and wavy with slightly more clay than the adjacent material
    C3—69 to 92 centimeters (27.2 to 36.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) sandy loam; massive; soft, very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 0.5 roots; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A07730. contains one dark brown (10YR 4/3 moist) band 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick, irregular and wavy with slightly more clay content than the adjacent material
    C4—92 to 140 centimeters (36.2 to 55.1 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) loamy fine sand; massive; soft, very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 0.5 roots; fragments; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A07731. contains three bands, dark yellowish brown (10YR 3/4 moist) loam 1/8 to 1/2 inch thick, wavy and irregular with abrupt textural change from adjacent material; thin clay flows in pores
    C5—140 to 181 centimeters (55.1 to 71.3 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) sand; single grain; loose, nonsticky, nonplastic; 0.1 roots; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5, unspecified; abrupt wavy boundary.

    181 to 181 centimeters (71.3 to 71.3 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A07733. sample collected for special determinations of the dark yellowish brown band in the 54 to 70 inch horizon; this band is massive in place and firm compared to the loosed sands in which this band occurs; it ranges in thickness from 1/2 to 2 inches, generally continuous in the pit examined and wavy; clay skins occur in pores; the bands in the other horizons are similar but are not as thick
