    Ap—0 to 23 centimeters (0.0 to 9.1 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/2) fine sandy loam; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 0.5 medium roots and 3.0 fine roots; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A40845
    B21—23 to 38 centimeters (9.1 to 15.0 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) fine sandy loam; weak very fine granular structure; friable; 3.0 medium roots; 3.0 very fine vesicular pores; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A40846
    A&B(1)—38 to 71 centimeters (15.0 to 28.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) and brown (7.5YR 5/2) loamy fine sand; massive; firm; 0.5 medium roots and 3.0 fine roots; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A40847. One (5YR 4/3) wavy 1/16 inch band of fine sandy loam; three similar bands occur below this band; a few discontinuous cleavage faces are coated with a 7.5YR 6/2 film of fine sand grains; few vertical channels filled with material like that of B21; few medium and fine elongated pores.

    B23t—201 to 203 centimeters (79.1 to 79.9 inches); dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) fine sandy loam; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A40853
    A'22—203 to 229 centimeters (79.9 to 90.2 inches); pinkish gray (5YR 6/2) fine sand; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A40854
    B24t—229 to 234 centimeters (90.2 to 92.1 inches); dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) fine sandy loam; massive; firm; 0.5 medium roots; 0.5 fine pores; distinct clay bridges; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A40855
    B31—234 to 269 centimeters (92.1 to 105.9 inches); reddish gray (5YR 5/2) fine sand; firm, slightly sticky; fragments. Lab sample # 40A40856. The bands are comparable to that of horizon B24t.
    B32—269 to 322 centimeters (105.9 to 126.8 inches); pinkish gray (5YR 6/2) and reddish brown (5YR 4/3) fine sandy loam; fragments. Sampled with a post-hole digger; essentially comparable to B31, consisting of dominantly 5YR 5/2-6/2 fine sand with mottles and branching bands of 5YR 4/3-3/4 fine sandy loam. The deepest band, which was 3 inches thick at 127 inches was collected as a clod sample.
