    Ap—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; moderate coarse subangular blocky structure; firm; faint dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), moist, clay films on faces of peds; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015507. Estimated permeability is moderate. Coarse skeleton of material 2 mm to 1 inch along the long axis. Cracks have developed in the upper 15 inches of the solum giving appearance of weak very coarse prismatic or blocky structure.; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 977527; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 977527
    B1—15 to 25 centimeters (5.9 to 9.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) Error; moderate coarse angular blocky structure; firm; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015508. Estimated permeability is moderate. Coarse skeleton of material 2 mm to 1 inch along the long axis. Cracks have developed in the upper 15 inches of the solum giving appearance of weak very coarse prismatic or blocky structure.
    B2—25 to 39 centimeters (9.8 to 15.4 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) Error; strong medium angular blocky structure; firm; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015509. Estimated permeability is moderate. Coarse skeleton of material 2 mm to 1 inch along the long axis. Cracks have developed in the upper 15 inches of the solum giving appearance of weak very coarse prismatic or blocky structure.
    2B3—39 to 58 centimeters (15.4 to 22.8 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) Error; moderate medium angular blocky structure; firm; 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015510. Estimated permeability is moderately slow. Coarse skeleton of light olive brown (2.5Y 5/6) siltstone, which may be considered a stone line.
    2BC1—58 to 69 centimeters (22.8 to 27.2 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) Error; very dark gray (10YR 3/1) mottles; weak coarse angular blocky structure; very firm; 33 percent fine and medium distinct brown (10YR 5/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 33 percent fine and medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015511. Estimated permeability is slow. Coarse skeleton of material 2 mm to 1 inch along the long axis.
    3BC2—69 to 89 centimeters (27.2 to 35.0 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm; 70 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015512. Estimated permeability is moderately slow. Coarse skeleton of olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) siltstone fragments 2 to 19 mm in diameter. This horizon appears to be an iron enriched layer, as black iron coatings cover the siltstone surfaces.
    4BC3—89 to 97 centimeters (35.0 to 38.2 inches); gray (10YR 6/1) Error; weak medium angular blocky structure; very firm; gray (10YR 5/1), moist, masses of reduced iron and 33 percent fine distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron and 33 percent fine distinct brown (10YR 5/3), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 15 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015513. Estimated permeability is slow. Coarse skeleton of material 2 mm to 1 inch in diameter.

Lab sample # OSU0015514. Soil material between 2.5Y 5/4 siltstone. Estimated permeability is moderately slow. Coarse skeleton of material 2 mm to 1 inch in diameter.
    4R—107 to 112 centimeters (42.1 to 44.1 inches); fragments. Consolidated siltstone covered with black iron coatings. NOTE - The soil properties indicate that the solum has been influenced by several different lithological parent materials. Judging from the physical properties siltstone and shale appear to be the d
