    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) Error; very friable; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008485. weak crumb structure; crushed color- 10YR 3/2.
    A1—20 to 28 centimeters (7.9 to 11.0 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; very friable; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008486
    A3—28 to 43 centimeters (11.0 to 16.9 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; fine and medium subangular blocky structure; friable; very dark gray (10YR 3/1), moist, organic stains on faces of peds; fragments; neutral, pH 7.0; diffuse smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0008487. 10YR 3/1 appears to be organic stains over a lighter colored 10YR 5/4, but dark color is dominant; crushed color is 10YR 3/3.
