    Ap—0 to 19 centimeters (0.0 to 7.5 inches);, very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) broken face, moist; fine sandy loam; 12 percent clay; weak medium granular structure; soft, very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; moderate permeability; 2.0 very fine roots throughout; fragments; noneffervescent, by hcl, 1n; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS4239; observed in push tube. This pedon had unmistakeable mollic color to 13 cm. With mixing to 18 cm, I decided this pedon would make mollic criteria.
