    C1—69 to 107 centimeters (27.2 to 42.1 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) very gravelly loam; medium platy, and thick platy structure; very firm; 0.5 medium roots; subrounded 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments and subrounded 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and limestone, unspecified fragments; strong effervescence. Lab sample # 40A02005. Stones and gravel firmly embedded in the loam matrix.
    C2—178 to 203 centimeters (70.1 to 79.9 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) very gravelly loam; medium platy, and thick platy structure; very firm; 0.5 medium roots; subrounded 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and limestone, unspecified fragments and 56 percent by volume subrounded 250-425-600 millimeter unspecified fragments. Lab sample # 40A02006. Material apparently similar to C1 sampled to represent the deep substratum. A measured volume was dug out, stones and gravel greater than 3 mm were weighed. Assuming specific gravity of 2.5, stones occupy about 56 percent of the volume of this horizon.
