Oe—0 to 2 centimeters (0.0 to 0.8 inches); mucky peat; many very fine roots throughout and many medium roots throughout; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 12N01724; observed in pit, small
A—2 to 12 centimeters (0.8 to 4.7 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; silt loam; moderate fine granular, and moderate fine subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; many very fine roots throughout and many medium roots throughout and many fine roots throughout and many coarse roots throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat rounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 12N01725; observed in pit, small
2Btg1—12 to 32 centimeters (4.7 to 12.6 inches); gray (10YR 5/1) loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; few very fine roots throughout and few medium roots throughout and few fine roots throughout; 20 percent distinct clay films on all faces of peds; 22 percent medium prominent irregular noncoherent cemented yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat rounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 12N01726; observed in pit, small. Added the "g" suffix symbol per the description even though colors below are bright with chromas > 3.
2Btg2—32 to 49 centimeters (12.6 to 19.3 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) loam; moderate medium subangular blocky, and moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; friable, moderately sticky, moderately plastic; many very fine roots throughout and many medium roots throughout; 20 percent distinct clay films on all faces of peds; 10 percent fine prominent irregular noncoherent cemented dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6), moist, iron-manganese masses throughout and 15 percent medium prominent irregular noncoherent cemented yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses throughout; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N01727; observed in pit, small. Added the "g" suffix symbol per the description even though colors below are bright with chromas > 3.
2BCt—49 to 84 centimeters (19.3 to 33.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) sandy loam; moderate medium subangular blocky, and moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky, nonplastic; common very fine roots throughout and many medium roots throughout; 7 percent distinct clay films on all faces of peds; 10 percent medium faint irregular noncoherent cemented dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6), moist, iron-manganese masses throughout and 33 percent coarse prominent irregular noncoherent cemented light gray (2.5Y 7/1), moist, iron depletions throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat rounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N01728; observed in pit, small. Changed the texture accordingly to KSSL data. The BCt is not part of the argillic as the total % clay is 11.2.

Lab sample # 12N01731; observed in auger, bucket
2Cg—167 to 179 centimeters (65.7 to 70.5 inches); gray (5Y 6/1) loamy coarse sand; structureless single grain; loose, nonsticky, nonplastic; 7 percent by volume nonflat rounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter quartzite fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 12N01732; observed in auger, bucket. Changed the texture for the horizon accordingly with the KSSL data.
