    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) loam; moderate fine and medium granular structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A02199. Loam high is coarse silt; 1/2 inch spots of slightly darker zone at bottom of horizon appear to be remnants of original A1 or O.
    Bw1—20 to 33 centimeters (7.9 to 13.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) crushed loam; weak fine platy parts to weak medium subangular blocky, and weak fine granular structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; 21.0 fine tubular pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6, unspecified; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # 40A02200. Weak fine platy in the upper part, possible due to compaction by traffic; blocks have pressure faces on 25 percent of surfaces; pores have smooth interiors; no clay skins of peds or in pores; few large earthworm channels.
    Bw2—33 to 41 centimeters (13.0 to 16.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) broken face and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) crushed loam; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; 21.0 fine tubular pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02201. Pressure faces on most block surfaces; no clay skins in pores or on peds; a few spherical cavities have smooth linings that might be very thin clay skins.
    2E—41 to 58 centimeters (16.1 to 22.8 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) broken face and brown (10YR 4/3) crushed fine sandy loam; weak thick platy structure; firm; brittle; 3.0 fine roots; 21.0 fine tubular pores; clay films in root channels and/or pores and clay films on faces of peds; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02202. Loam is higher in sand content than horizon above; sprinkling of clean sand grains on horizontal cleavage faces; less roots that horizon above.; patchy - phpvsfiid 1146885; patchy - phpvsfiid 1146885
    2Bx—58 to 71 centimeters (22.8 to 28.0 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.; Not sampled; this is similar to the IIA'2 described for profile S63NY-18-1.
