    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; very friable; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # MN281002; moist when described;
    BE—20 to 36 centimeters (7.9 to 14.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; very friable; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # MN281003; moist when described;
    Bt1—36 to 74 centimeters (14.2 to 29.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) silty clay; strong medium angular blocky structure; friable; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # MN281004; moist when described;
    Bt2—74 to 81 centimeters (29.1 to 31.9 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) silty clay loam; strong coarse angular blocky structure; friable; 5 percent clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # MN281005; moist when described;
    2Bt3—81 to 152 centimeters (31.9 to 59.8 inches); yellowish red (5YR 5/6) clay; strong coarse angular blocky structure; hard, very firm; 65 percent clay films on all faces of peds; 5 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-35-75 millimeter mixed fragments. Lab sample # MN281006; moist when described;. There were 2 samples both listed from 32 to 60" with no clue what they were sampling; I deleted the extra layer that mismatched the field description texture; it was a Sandy Clay Loam texture (67%sand-2%silt-31%clay (3%grav,20%mediumsand,38%finesand)(same pH). This could have been a garbage strata or maybe a lag layer sample right at the discontinuity.
