    Oi—0 to 1 centimeters (0.0 to 0.4 inches); fragments. Leaf litter from deciduous trees.
    Oe—1 to 2 centimeters (0.4 to 0.8 inches); fragments. Leaf mull.
    A—2 to 4 centimeters (0.8 to 1.6 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; weak fine granular structure; friable; 20 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013331. Estimated permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is less than 2 inches in size.
    E—4 to 13 centimeters (1.6 to 5.1 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) Error; weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; 20 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013332. Estimated permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is less than 2 inches in size.
    BE—13 to 22 centimeters (5.1 to 8.7 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; , moist, organic stains and 15 percent faint clay films on faces of peds and 15 percent prominent clay films; 30 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013333. Estimated permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is less than 3 inches in size.
    B1—22 to 32 centimeters (8.7 to 12.6 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; firm; distinct clay films on faces of peds and prominent clay films; 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013334. Estimated permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is from 0.25 to 3 inches in size.
    2B2—32 to 48 centimeters (12.6 to 18.9 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and reddish brown (5YR 5/3) Error; firm; prominent clay films; 30 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0013335. Mixed matrix colors. The 5YR 5/3 color is from red shale. Estimated permeability is moderate. Coarse material is less than 2 inches in size.
