    A—0 to 4 centimeters (0.0 to 1.6 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) Error; moderate fine granular structure; firm; 35 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015462. Permeability is rapid. Coarse material is less than 1 inch in diameter. 60% of surface was covered with flaggy sandstones less than 16 inches in diameter.
    E—4 to 14 centimeters (1.6 to 5.5 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak fine granular structure; firm; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015463. Permeability is rapid. Coarse material is less than 2 inches in diameter.
    BA—14 to 20 centimeters (5.5 to 7.9 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; weak fine subangular blocky structure; firm; 40 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015464. Permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is less than 3 inches in diameter. Rain moistened soil to 8 inches depth.
    B1—20 to 36 centimeters (7.9 to 14.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; Error; moderate fine subangular blocky structure; firm; very pale brown (10YR 8/2), moist, silt coats; 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015465. Permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is less than 3 inches in diameter.
    B2—36 to 51 centimeters (14.2 to 20.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; Error; weak fine subangular blocky structure; firm; very pale brown (10YR 8/2), moist, silt coats; 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015466. Permeability is moderately rapid. Coarse material is less than 3 inches in diameter.

    C1—79 to 142 centimeters (31.1 to 55.9 inches); 90 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments. Fractured shale and sandstone comprise 85 to 95% of the volume. Soil and roots have penetrated the fractures. The shale color is dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4). Not sampled.
    142 to 152 centimeters (55.9 to 59.8 inches); fragments. Stopped at this depth but from all appearances the rocks are still fractured with both soil and roots occupying the cracks. Not sampled.
