    A—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2), grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2), dry; sandy loam; 11 percent clay; moderate fine granular, and moderate medium granular structure; friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 4.0 very fine roots throughout and 1.0 medium roots throughout and 2.0 fine roots throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-3-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; extremely acid, pH 4.4, chlorophenol red; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 12N00122; observed in pit, small
    Ap—10 to 19 centimeters (3.9 to 7.5 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) sandy loam; 11 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 2.0 medium roots throughout and 5.0 fine roots throughout and 1.0 coarse roots throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-3-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; extremely acid, pH 4.4, chlorophenol red; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 12N00123; observed in pit, small
    BE—19 to 32 centimeters (7.5 to 12.6 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) sandy loam; 11 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 2.0 medium roots throughout and 2.0 coarse roots throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-3-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, chlorophenol red; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N00124; observed in pit, small
    Bt1—32 to 42 centimeters (12.6 to 16.5 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) sandy loam; 15 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky, and moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; friable, moderately sticky, moderately plastic; 1.0 micro roots throughout and 2.0 fine roots throughout; 5 percent faint light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist, clay films on all faces of peds; 2 percent medium distinct irregular noncoherent cemented 10Y 5/6 (10Y 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-3-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, chlorophenol red; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N00125; observed in pit, small. The Bt1 doesn't meet an argillic horizon definition. BE was 9.0 % total clay and the Bt1 was 10.5. The Bt1 will not be considered part of the argillic horizon.
    Bt2—42 to 58 centimeters (16.5 to 22.8 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) sandy loam; 21 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky, and moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; friable, moderately sticky, moderately plastic; 1.0 fine roots throughout; 20 percent faint light olive brown (2.5Y 5/3), moist, clay films on all faces of peds; 10 percent fine prominent irregular noncoherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-3-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3, chlorophenol red; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N00126; observed in pit, small. The horizon above didn't meet argillic definition so this horizon at a depth of 42 cm is the top of the argillic.
    BCtg—58 to 74 centimeters (22.8 to 29.1 inches); 50 percent light gray (10YR 7/2) and 40 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) sandy loam; 6 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky, and weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 2.0 fine roots throughout; 1 percent dark brown (7.5YR 3/2), moist, organic stains on all faces of peds and 10 percent distinct light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4), moist, clay films on all faces of peds; 3 percent medium distinct irregular noncoherent cemented light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), moist, iron depletions and 7 percent medium distinct dendritic noncoherent cemented light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4), moist, iron-manganese masses; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter mixed fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2, chlorophenol red; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N00127; observed in pit, small
    C—74 to 89 centimeters (29.1 to 35.0 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3) loamy sand; structureless massive; friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 10 percent coarse prominent irregular noncoherent cemented 10Y 5/6 (10Y 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses and 30 percent medium faint irregular noncoherent cemented light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), moist, iron depletions; 3 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter mixed fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, chlorophenol red; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N00128; observed in pit, small
    Cg—89 to 205 centimeters (35.0 to 80.7 inches); light gray (2.5Y 7/1) stratified stratified loamy sand; structureless massive; friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 1 percent prominent dark brown (7.5YR 3/2), moist, organic stains on all faces of peds; 15 percent medium prominent dendritic noncoherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 5/8), moist, and strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses and 20 percent medium prominent irregular noncoherent cemented 10Y 5/6 (10Y 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3, chlorophenol red. Lab sample # 12N00129; observed in pit, small
