    Ap—0 to 30 centimeters (0.0 to 11.8 inches); black (10YR 2/1), dark gray (10YR 4/1), dry; loamy sand; weak coarse granular parts to weak fine granular, and weak coarse granular parts to weak medium granular structure; friable; 10.0 very fine roots and 10.0 fine roots; 2 percent fine prominent irregular strong brown (7.5YR 4/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.7, pH meter; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 09N01306; wet when described; observed in pit, small. pH's were taken in the MLRA lab after description date.
    C/A—30 to 61 centimeters (11.8 to 24.0 inches); 80 percent light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and 20 percent black (10YR 2/1) fine sand; weak coarse subangular blocky parts to single grain; very friable; 2 percent fine prominent irregular strong brown (7.5YR 4/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 2 percent coarse prominent irregular brownish yellow (10YR 6/8), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 2 percent by volume nonflat 2-55-75 millimeter unspecified fragments; neutral, pH 6.8, pH meter; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 09N01307; wet when described; observed in pit, small. pH's were taken in the MLRA lab after description date.; Original field estimate of texture was medium sand.
