    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2), dry; Error; firm; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.3; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006344. Plastic and moderately sticky when wet. Very to extremely hard when dry.
    BA—20 to 28 centimeters (7.9 to 11.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), light gray (10YR 7/2) and light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; Error; very firm; 35 percent faint clay films; distinct grayish brown (10YR 5/2), moist, masses of reduced iron; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.3; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006345. Mottles on ped surfaces. Plastic and sticky when wet. Very hard when dry.
    B1—28 to 36 centimeters (11.0 to 14.2 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; Error; weak subangular blocky structure; very firm; 35 percent faint clay films; faint grayish brown (10YR 5/2), moist, masses of reduced iron and faint gray (10YR 5/1), moist, masses of reduced iron; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.3. Lab sample # OSU0006346. 10YR 5/2 mottles are in ped interiors and 10YR 5/1 mottles are on ped surfaces. Coarse subangular blocky structure crushes to weak, very fine angular particles. Plastic and sticky when wet. Extremely hard when dry.
    B2—36 to 53 centimeters (14.2 to 20.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; Error; weak prismatic structure; very firm; 33 percent faint dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # OSU0006347. Plastic and sticky when wet. Extremely hard when dry. Shiny ped surfaces common in the B horizon appear to be more due to shearing and puddling than to clay coatings.
