    Ap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2), dry; Error; coarse granular structure; fragments; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001393
    E—18 to 30 centimeters (7.1 to 11.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), very pale brown (10YR 7/4), dry; Error; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001394. Coarse skeleton of weathered coarse grained sandstone fragments with dark yellowish brown and brownish yellow sand grains.
    BE—30 to 46 centimeters (11.8 to 18.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; Error; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 20 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001395. Coarse skeleton of weathered coarse grained sandstone fragments with dark yellowish brown and brownish yellow sand grains.
    B—46 to 71 centimeters (18.1 to 28.0 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001396. Coarse skeleton of sub-rounded, soft, weathered sandstone fragments and cobbles up to 10 inches across. Fragments and cobbles often have an outer shell of black color about 0.5 inches thick.
    BC—71 to 94 centimeters (28.0 to 37.0 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), yellowish brown (10YR 5/8), dry; Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 15 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001397. Coarse skeleton of weathered sandstone fragments and some dark brown concretions. The soil in this horizon appears to have developed in material derived from mixing weathered sandstone and the underlying shale.
    C—94 to 127 centimeters (37.0 to 50.0 inches);, yellow (10YR 7/6) and pale yellow (2.5Y 8/4), dry; Error; weak medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; distinct light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron and distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0001398. Weathered clayey shale. Sample taken at 46-50 inches. This soil appears to have developed in two storied materials with that above 37 inches derived largely from mixed weathered sandstone materials moved downslope from sandstone strata exposed about 40 fe
