    A1—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1), gray (10YR 5/1), dry; sandy loam; moderate very fine granular structure; soft, very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26763
    AB—5 to 10 centimeters (2.0 to 3.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; sandy clay loam; weak medium prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; hard, very friable; clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26764. There are thin patchy clay skins on both the horizontal and vertical faces of the soil aggregates; there is some gravel in this horizon but less than 5 percent of the volume is gravel or cobble.; patchy - phpvsfiid 196718; patchy - phpvsfiid 196718
    B2t—10 to 28 centimeters (3.9 to 11.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; sandy clay loam; moderate medium prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; hard, very friable; clay films on faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A26765. approximately 5 percent of this horizon is gravel; there are thin nearly continuous clay skins on the surfaces of the soil aggregates.; continuous - phpvsfiid 196719; continuous - phpvsfiid 196719
    B3ca—28 to 38 centimeters (11.0 to 15.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; sandy clay loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable; clay films on all faces of peds; carbonate concretions; fragments; violent effervescence; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A26766. This is a moderate horizon of lime accumulation with visible lime occurring in the form of concretions; there are thin patchy clay skins on both the horizontal and vertical faces of the soil aggregates; approximately 20 percent of this horizon is gravel.; patchy - phpvsfiid 188057; patchy - phpvsfiid 188057
    Cca—38 to 64 centimeters (15.0 to 25.2 inches); very pale brown (10YR 7/3), very pale brown (10YR 8/2), dry; gravelly loamy sand; massive; slightly hard, very friable; fragments; violent effervescence; diffuse wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A26767. This is a strong horizon of lime accumulation with visible lime occurring in finely divided forms; approximately 20 percent of this horizon is gravel.
    D—64 to 102 centimeters (25.2 to 40.2 inches); loose, loose; fragments; strong effervescence. Lab sample # 40A26768. Loose calcareous sand and gravel substratum; approximately 40 percent of the horizon is coarse gravel and cobble; in the upper portion of the horizon the rocks have a coating of lime and there are some strata throughout the horizon which have a very high content of lime in finely divided forms; this horizon not sampled for laboratory study.
