    Ap1—0 to 13 centimeters (0.0 to 5.1 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) loamy sand; weak medium granular structure; very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; very few (0.1) very coarse roots throughout and common (2.0) coarse roots throughout; 1 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-2-5 millimeter ironstone nodules fragments observed by visual inspection method; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 19N01122; moist when described; observed in pit, large or quarry
    Ap2—13 to 34 centimeters (5.1 to 13.4 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) loamy sand; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; common (3.0) medium roots throughout and common (3.0) coarse roots throughout; 2 percent by volume nonflat subrounded indurated 2-4-5 millimeter ironstone nodules fragments observed by visual inspection method; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 19N01123; moist when described; observed in pit, large or quarry
    Bt—34 to 51 centimeters (13.4 to 20.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) sandy clay loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; many (4.0) medium roots throughout and common (3.0) fine roots throughout; 1 percent distinct clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 19N01124; moist when described; observed in pit, large or quarry
    BC—51 to 88 centimeters (20.1 to 34.6 inches); 60 percent red (2.5YR 4/6) and 40 percent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) sandy clay loam; 2 percent light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) fine faint mottles; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; common (1.0) medium roots throughout and common (2.0) fine roots throughout; 1 percent by volume noncoherent cemented 2-2-5 millimeter quartz fragments observed by visual inspection method; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 19N01125; moist when described; observed in pit, large or quarry. Sand in this horizon is coarser than the overlying Bt. In the field, we questioned whether this horizon has a 20% relative decrease in clay. Lab data will determine whether this pedon classifies as palic or haplic. This horizon is also not as sticky or plastic as the overlying Bt.
    2Bt1—88 to 116 centimeters (34.6 to 45.7 inches); 30 percent red (2.5YR 4/6) and 30 percent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) and 20 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) and 10 percent weak red (10R 4/3) and 10 percent light gray (2.5Y 7/1) clay loam; moderate medium angular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; 5 percent distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), moist, clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 19N01126; moist when described; observed in pit, large or quarry. Some platy structure observed in this horizon, but it is not continuous and was not entered in the horizon structure table.
    2Bt2—116 to 180 centimeters (45.7 to 70.9 inches); 40 percent red (2.5YR 4/6) and 30 percent light gray (2.5Y 7/1) and 10 percent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) and 10 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) and 10 percent weak red (10R 4/3) clay; moderate medium angular blocky structure; extremely firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 8 percent distinct brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), moist, clay films on all faces of peds; fragments. Lab sample # 19N01127; moist when described; observed in pit, large or quarry. Some platy structure observed in this horizon, but it is not continuous and was not entered in the horizon structure table.
