Lab sample # OSU0005498. Root occasional on prism faces. Pebbles few. Frequent lenses of dark brown (6.25YR 3/4) loamy sand with a weak coarse prismatic structure; the prism faces are pale brown (10YR 6/3), non-coherent. Sampled at 66 inches.
    C1—183 to 206 centimeters (72.0 to 81.1 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; fragments. Lab sample # OSU0005499. Oxidized Late Cary glacial till. Note: This site is unusual in that the upper 34 inches of solum has a coarser texture than the lower part of the solum. It is possible that the lower part of the BC3 and C1 horizons are of a finer textured till deposit. Th
