    Oi—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); fragments. Oak leaf litter.
    Oa—3 to 3 centimeters (1.2 to 1.2 inches); fragments. A very thin trace of an A horizon. This area shows evidence of cultivation and abandonment with sufficient time to develop only a thin organic staining on the upper surface and the Ap horizon is still evident.
    Ap—3 to 18 centimeters (1.2 to 7.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014359. Estimated permeability - moderate.
    E—18 to 23 centimeters (7.1 to 9.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014360. Estimated permeability - moderate.
    BE—23 to 33 centimeters (9.1 to 13.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 15 percent faint clay films; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014361. Estimated permeability - moderate.
    B1—33 to 56 centimeters (13.0 to 22.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) Error; strong medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; faint clay films; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014362. Estimated permeability - moderate.
    B2—56 to 84 centimeters (22.0 to 33.1 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) Error; strong medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; firm; faint clay films; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014363. Estimated permeability - moderate.
    BC—84 to 109 centimeters (33.1 to 42.9 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) Error; moderate medium and coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; 15 percent faint clay films; 4 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0014364. Estimated permeability - moderate. Coarse skeleton of small sandstone fragments.
    2C1—109 to 135 centimeters (42.9 to 53.1 inches); light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) Error; 4 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8. Lab sample # OSU0014365. Estimated permeability - moderate. Coarse skeleton of sandstone fragments about 0.25 inches diameter. Sampled with auger.
    2C2—135 to 160 centimeters (53.1 to 63.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) Error; platy structure; 4 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.4. Lab sample # OSU0014366. Estimated permeability - moderate. Very thin platiness structure as if weathered from shale in place. Sampled with auger.
