    Oi—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); fragments. Leaf litter composed largely of leaves fallen during past season. This forms an even covering over soil surface. Not sampled.
    Oe—3 to 5 centimeters (1.2 to 2.0 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2); fragments. Litter in all stages of decompostion. Considerable mineral matter is incorporated into this horizon. Not sampled.
    A1—5 to 15 centimeters (2.0 to 5.9 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) and very dark brown (7.5YR 2/2), very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), dry; Error; moderate medium granular structure; friable; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008426
    A2—15 to 20 centimeters (5.9 to 7.9 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/2) and dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) and brown (7.5YR 4/4), dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), dry; Error; moderate medium and coarse granular structure; friable; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008427
    B1—20 to 30 centimeters (7.9 to 11.8 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and brown (7.5YR 4/2) and brown (7.5YR 4/4) and brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.7; gradual boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008428. Dry color is 10YR 5/3.
    B2—30 to 46 centimeters (11.8 to 18.1 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and strong brown (7.5YR 5/6), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 60 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008429. This horizon marks the lower limit of fine roots.
    B3—46 to 66 centimeters (18.1 to 26.0 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6), very pale brown (10YR 7/4), dry; Error; weak medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; 65 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008430
    BC1—66 to 81 centimeters (26.0 to 31.9 inches); reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6) and reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6), very pale brown (10YR 7/3), dry; Error; medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; very friable; 65 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; diffuse boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008431. Coarse skeleton contains fragments up to 12 inches in diameter.

Lab sample # OSU0008432. Coarse skeleton contains many sandstone fragments of 12 inches or more in diameter. Lower boundary dips or tends to follow openings between rock fragments.
    C—102 to 107 centimeters (40.2 to 42.1 inches); yellow (10YR 7/8), very pale brown (10YR 7/4), dry; Error; loose; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.1. Lab sample # OSU0008433. Sandy loam occurs as coatings on rock fragments.
