    Oi—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); fragments. Thick even covering of leaf litter that for the most part is not yet decomposed; mostly previous autumn?s leaf fall.
    A—3 to 18 centimeters (1.2 to 7.1 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) Error; moderate fine and medium granular structure; very friable; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; neutral, pH 6.8; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007083
    B1—18 to 33 centimeters (7.1 to 13.0 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) Error; weak subangular blocky structure; friable; 20 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.3; diffuse wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007084
    B2—33 to 53 centimeters (13.0 to 20.9 inches); reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/8) Error; coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; diffuse wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0007085
    BC—53 to 94 centimeters (20.9 to 37.0 inches); reddish yellow (7.5YR 7/8) Error; coarse subangular blocky, and single grain; friable; 70 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0. Lab sample # OSU0007086
    C—94 to 130 centimeters (37.0 to 51.2 inches); 7.5YR (7.5YR/),; fragments. This horizon is composed primarily of rock fragments. Many fragments have a sort of soft weathered surface. This material appears to be of colluvial origin. Not sampled.
