    Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) cobbly silt loam; coarse parts to weak coarse granular structure; very friable; fragments; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # 40A40728
    B12—18 to 30 centimeters (7.1 to 11.8 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) silt loam; weak medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; very friable; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A40729
    B22—30 to 43 centimeters (11.8 to 16.9 inches); olive (5Y 4/3) silt loam; weak medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; very friable; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A40730
    B23—43 to 56 centimeters (16.9 to 22.0 inches); olive gray (5Y 4/2) and olive (5Y 4/3) fine sandy loam; subangular blocky structure; very friable; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A40731
    C1—56 to 76 centimeters (22.0 to 29.9 inches); very dark gray (5Y 3/1) and dark olive gray (5Y 3/2) gravelly sandy loam; massive; firm; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A40732
    C2m—76 to 102 centimeters (29.9 to 40.2 inches); dark olive gray (5Y 3/2) and olive gray (5Y 4/2) gravelly sandy loam; weak coarse platy structure; very firm; fragments. Lab sample # 40A40733. The material seemed to be getting slightly less firm at the 40 inch depth, but if so, it is probably a thin stratum. This horizon contains a rather high proportion of coarse fragments ranging from 2 to 5 inches in diameter. A few silt or very fine sand films are present around some gravel and rock fragments.
