    A—0 to 4 centimeters (0.0 to 1.6 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) Error; moderate fine granular structure; very friable; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0018178. About 25% of volume occupied by roots.
    E—4 to 21 centimeters (1.6 to 8.3 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak subangular blocky structure; friable; 4 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0018179. About 10 to 15% of volume occupied by roots. Coarse skeleton of pebble sized fragments, mainly of crystalline rocks. A few grub holes were open and unlined.
    BE—21 to 35 centimeters (8.3 to 13.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; firm; 4 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0018180. Occasional fragment of black shale and crystalline rock. Yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) ped surfaces are mainly silty skeletans.
