    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) and brown (10YR 4/3) crushed, pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; channery silt loam; moderate fine and medium granular structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; 3.0 tubular pores; 10 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A01947. Common earthworm channels.
    A2—20 to 24 centimeters (7.9 to 9.4 inches); light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) and brown (10YR 5/3), very pale brown (10YR 8/2) and very pale brown (10YR 7/3), dry; silt loam; moderate very fine and fine platy structure; slightly hard, firm; brittle; 21.0 fine roots; 3.0 tubular pores; very pale brown (10YR 8/2), moist, silt coats on faces of peds and gray (10YR 6/1) silt coats on faces of peds; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.4, unspecified; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A01948. Plates light gray throughout or laminated with brown; boundary occurs only s a pocket, from a thin film to a 2 inch thick layer below a thin black humic layer that contained charcoal fragments.
    B22—20 to 33 centimeters (7.9 to 13.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) crushed, pale brown (10YR 6/3) broken face, dry; silt loam; weak very thin platy, and subangular blocky, and weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 3.0 fine roots; 3.0 tubular pores; 5 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01950. Fine irregular fragments and subangular blocks with less than 25 percent pressure faces; common vertical earthworm channels.
    B2—24 to 32 centimeters (9.4 to 12.6 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) silt loam; weak fine and medium subangular blocky, and weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 3.0 tubular pores; 8 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01949. Remnant horizon occurring only with pocket of A2. This sequum may have occurred in most virgin profiles and remains in this spot, a slight depression that was filled when the soil was plowed. Spots this bright in color are found occasionally but are not typical of the plowed soil.

Lab sample # 40A01952. Caps themselves grade from coarse silt loam in topmost 1/4 inch to heavy silt loam adjacent to darker interiors; horizontal block faces rough, vertical faces smooth.
    IIB'2t—46 to 89 centimeters (18.1 to 35.0 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) interior and gray (5Y 5/1) loam, clay loam; moderate medium and coarse platy structure; firm; brittle; 0.1 fine roots; 21.0 fine tubular pores; clay films in root channels and/or pores and clay films on rock fragments and 30 percent clay films on faces of peds; 20 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; neutral, pH 6.6, unspecified; clear wavy boundary.

    IIC—89 to 102 centimeters (35.0 to 40.2 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) loam, clay loam; 1 percent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) medium and 3 percent gray (2.5Y 5/1) coarse mottles; moderate fine and medium platy structure; firm; 3.0 fine pores; distinct clay films on rock fragments and clay films on faces of peds; 20 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments.
