Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; gravelly loam; weak very fine and fine subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 medium roots; 15 percent by volume rounded 2-?-20 millimeter unspecified fragments; noneffervescent; slightly alkaline, pH 7.6, phenol red; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 69C00612. 15 percent rounded fragments less than 19 mm diameter
C1—18 to 28 centimeters (7.1 to 11.0 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; gravelly loam; moderate very fine and fine subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 medium and coarse roots; 10 percent by volume 20-?-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume rounded 2-?-20 millimeter unspecified fragments; strong effervescence; moderately alkaline, pH 8.0, phenol red; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 69C00613. 15 percent rounded fragments less than 19 mm diameter, 10 percent between 19 mm and 76 mm diameter, some fragments have lime coatings.
IIC2—28 to 51 centimeters (11.0 to 20.1 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; very gravelly loam; massive; soft, very friable, slightly sticky, nonplastic; 0.5 fine to coarse roots; 5 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments and 15 percent by volume 20-?-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 35 percent by volume rounded 2-?-20 millimeter unspecified fragments; strong effervescence; moderately alkaline, pH 8.2, thymol-blue; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 69C00614. 35 percent rounded fragments less than 19 mm diameter, 15 percent between 19 mm and 76 mm diameter, 5 percent larger than 76 mm diameter, most of the fragments are coated with lime.
IIIC3—51 to 152 centimeters (20.1 to 59.8 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) and light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; very gravelly sandy loam; single grain; loose, loose, nonsticky, nonplastic; 0.1 roots; carbonate concretions; 10 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments and 25 percent by volume 20-?-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 50 percent by volume rounded 2-?-20 millimeter limestone-sandstone fragments; strong effervescence; moderately alkaline, pH 8.2, thymol-blue. Lab sample # 69C00615. 50 percent rounded fragments less than 19 mm diameter, 25 percent between 19 mm and 76 mm diameter, 10 percent larger than 76 mm diameter, the fragments are mainly derived from sandstone and limestone; concretions of secondary lime occur as pendents on most of the fragments in the upper part and decreases with depth.
