    Oa—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); black (10YR 2/1) highly decomposed plant material; low excavation difficulty; 1.0 medium roots throughout and 5.0 fine roots throughout; fragments; very slight effervescence, by hcl, 1n; neutral, pH 7.0, pH meter; clear smooth boundary.; moist when described; observed in pit, small
    A—5 to 18 centimeters (2.0 to 7.1 inches); very dark gray (2.5Y 3/1) silty clay loam; weak fine granular structure; low excavation difficulty; 7.0 fine roots throughout; 5 percent medium distinct irregular weakly coherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 4/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix; fragments; slight effervescence, by hcl, 1n; moderately alkaline, pH 8.0, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 13N03749; moist when described; observed in pit, small

Lab sample # 13N03750; moist when described; observed in pit, small
    Bg2—40 to 64 centimeters (15.7 to 25.2 inches); gray (2.5Y 5/1) silt; weak medium subangular blocky structure; low excavation difficulty; 4.0 fine roots throughout; 3 percent medium prominent irregular weakly coherent cemented dusky red (10R 3/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix and 5 percent medium prominent irregular weakly coherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 4/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix and 15 percent medium distinct irregular weakly coherent cemented brown (7.5YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix; fragments; very slight effervescence, by hcl, 1n; slightly alkaline, pH 7.7, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 13N03751; moist when described; observed in pit, small. Noted structure is questionable but there is good root density in this horizon and appears more developed than the material below.
    C1—64 to 80 centimeters (25.2 to 31.5 inches); 95 percent olive (5Y 5/4) and 5 percent gray (2.5Y 5/1) stratified stratified silt loam; massive; moderate excavation difficulty; 1.0 medium roots throughout and 2.0 fine roots throughout; 5 percent medium prominent irregular weakly coherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix and 15 percent fine distinct irregular weakly coherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 4/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix; fragments; very slight effervescence, by hcl, 1n; slightly alkaline, pH 7.7, pH meter; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 13N03752; moist when described; observed in pit, small. Four distinct bands of organic material approximately 2 to 5 mm thick.

Lab sample # 13N03753; moist when described; observed in pit, small. Several bands of fine sand are found in this layer (too thin to sample) with color ranging from 7.5yr 5/6 from F3M staining to 10yr 5/3 for a matrix color.
    Cg1—102 to 160 centimeters (40.2 to 63.0 inches); 60 percent dark gray (N 4/), and 40 percent dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2) stratified stratified very fine sandy loam to silt loam; massive; moderate excavation difficulty; 1.0 fine roots throughout; 20 percent medium distinct threadlike weakly coherent cemented strong brown (7.5YR 4/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron with clear boundaries in matrix; fragments; very slight effervescence, by hcl, 1n; slightly alkaline, pH 7.4, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 13N03754, 13N03755, 13N03756; moist when described; observed in pit, small. Horizon divided into three distinct bands: a sand, a brown sil, and a bluish grey sil. The silt loams are similar texture. The Brown sil was collected in a bulk sample only. The blue/grey color sil was sampled for both clod and bulk material. The sand component was sampled for bulk material, no clods.
