    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) broken face and brown (10YR 4/3) crushed loam; moderate medium and coarse granular structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; 0.5 tubular pores; 1 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A02077. A few earthworm burrows.
    B21—20 to 30 centimeters (7.9 to 11.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) broken face; weak subangular blocky parts to weak very fine granular structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; 21.0 fine and 0.5 tubular pores; 1 percent clay films and 75 percent pressure faces on faces of peds; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02078. No clay skins on peds or in pores; a few earthworm channels.
    B22—30 to 38 centimeters (11.8 to 15.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) broken face and reddish brown (2.5YR 4/3) broken face and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) crushed loam; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; 3.0 fine roots; 21.0 fine tubular pores; pressure faces on faces of peds and 1 percent clay films in root channels and/or pores; 1 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; abrupt irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A02079. Discontinuous horizon that reaches thickness of 10 inches in tongues into the fragipan and vanishes where B21 rests directly on fragipan.; continuous - phpvsfiid 183890; continuous - phpvsfiid 183890
    IIA'2x—38 to 76 centimeters (15.0 to 29.9 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) crushed and grayish brown (10YR 5/2) crushed and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) interior and light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) exterior fine sandy loam; 0.5 fine roots; 21.0 fine tubular pores; clay films in root channels and/or pores; 1 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6, unspecified; clear irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A02080. Massive in pit face but breaks to weak medium to very thick plates whose surfaces are coated with clean (10YR 6/2) sand grains with very few small patches of (10YR 4/2) pitted surfaces that may be clay skins; 1/3 of matrix is (10YR 4/2) and lacks protruding sand grains.
    IIB'2x—76 to 97 centimeters (29.9 to 38.2 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) crushed and brown (10YR 4/3) interior loam; moderate thick platy structure; 3.0 fine tubular pores; 30 percent clay films in root channels and/or pores; 4 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02081. Smooth surfaces and sprinkled with clean sand grains surrounding small thin patches of pitted clay skins; matrix dotted with black (10YR 2/1) soft weathered shale fragments ranging from 2 mm to 2 inches; larger fragments crush greasy, are filled with tubular pores 1/2 mm in diameter that look like root channels.
    IIB'3x—97 to 122 centimeters (38.2 to 48.0 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/3) crushed loam; moderate medium and coarse platy structure; firm; brittle; 0.1 roots; 3.0 fine tubular pores; coats in root channels and/or pores and 50 percent coats on faces of peds; 1 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02082. Pores penetrate plates vertically; common black weathered shale fragments crush greasy, giving some parts of the soil a sandy clay loam texture.
    IIC—122 to 137 centimeters (48.0 to 53.9 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/3) crushed and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) loam; moderate medium and coarse platy structure; firm; 0.1 roots; 0.1 vesicular pores; clay films on faces of peds and 75 percent pressure faces on faces of peds; 1 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A02083. Common soft black shale fragments; dominantly a loam but sandy clay loam where shale fragments are located.
