    A1—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; silt loam; weak fine platy parts to weak very fine granular structure; soft, very friable; moderate permeability; fragments; loam of texture class; strong effervescence; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29561
    A2—3 to 18 centimeters (1.2 to 7.1 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3) and brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; silty clay loam; moderate fine granular structure; slightly hard, very friable; moderately slow permeability; fragments; silt loam of texture class; strong effervescence; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29562
    AC—18 to 36 centimeters (7.1 to 14.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky parts to weak fine granular structure; slightly hard, very friable; moderate permeability; fragments; silt loam of texture class; violent effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29563
    C1—36 to 76 centimeters (14.2 to 29.9 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable; moderate permeability; fragments; silt loam of texture class; violent effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29564
    C2—76 to 102 centimeters (29.9 to 40.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) and brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; silt loam; structureless massive; slightly hard, very friable; moderate permeability; fragments; silt loam of texture class; violent effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A29565
    C3—102 to 152 centimeters (40.2 to 59.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) and brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; stratified loam; massive; soft, very friable; moderate permeability; fragments; stratified silt loam of texture class; violent effervescence. Lab sample # 40A29566. This horizon is described with stratified texture, but there is no indication of what caused the stratification. It should be a lithologic discontinuity whether it is stratified loess or alluvium because of the change in textural class.
