    A1—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; very fine sandy loam; moderate very fine granular structure; soft, very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26757. Horizon temperature 21 degrees centigrade.
    AB—10 to 15 centimeters (3.9 to 5.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; clay loam; weak coarse prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; very hard, friable; clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26758. There are thin patchy clay skins on both the horizontal and vertical faces of the soil aggregates; horizon temperature 20 degrees centigrade.; patchy - phpvsfiid 196715; patchy - phpvsfiid 196715
    B21t—15 to 25 centimeters (5.9 to 9.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; clay loam; moderate medium prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; very hard, friable; clay films on faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26759. Horizon temperature 19.5 degrees centigrade; there are thin nearly continuous clay skins on the surfaces of the soil aggregates.; continuous - phpvsfiid 196716; continuous - phpvsfiid 196716
    B22t—25 to 38 centimeters (9.8 to 15.0 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; clay loam; weak and moderate medium prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; very hard, friable; clay films on faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear wavy boundary.
