2C2—138 to 200 centimeters (54.3 to 78.7 inches);, brownish yellow (10YR 6/8) exterior, moist; fine sandy loam; massive; rigid, very friable; 5 percent coarse prominent irregular noncoherent cemented very dark gray (10YR 3/1), moist, manganese coatings in cracks; fragments.; observed in trench. this horizon had orriginally been described as a Cr. The backhoe was stopped at 200 cm. After drying for 3 1/2 months pieces of the 138 to 200 cm layer were broken and water added. After wetting the material slaked so the horizon designation was changed to C with rigid dry consistence and very friable moist.
