    Oe—0 to 1 centimeters (0.0 to 0.4 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3); fragments. Lab sample # OSU0015997. Partially decomposed leaves held together by a dense mat of fine roots. Covered by a thin discontinuous layer of last year?s leaves.
    A—1 to 4 centimeters (0.4 to 1.6 inches); dark gray (10YR 4/1) and gray (10YR 5/1) Error; strong fine and medium granular structure; very friable; 1 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015998
    E1—4 to 17 centimeters (1.6 to 6.7 inches); pale brown (10YR 6/3) Error; fine granular structure; very friable; 1 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0015999
    E2—17 to 29 centimeters (6.7 to 11.4 inches); pale brown (10YR 6/3) Error; weak fine and medium granular structure; friable; 1 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0016000. One coarse-grained sandstone pebble about 2 inches across was observed. Other pebbles were small and few.
    EB—29 to 37 centimeters (11.4 to 14.6 inches); pale brown (10YR 6/3) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) Error; fine subangular blocky structure; friable; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0016001. The 10YR 5/4 portion probably represents a previous BE horizon.
    BE—37 to 44 centimeters (14.6 to 17.3 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) Error; weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm; pale brown (10YR 6/3), moist, silt coats; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0016002
    Bt1—44 to 55 centimeters (17.3 to 21.7 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) Error; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm; pale brown (10YR 6/3), moist, silt coats; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.3; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0016003. Some silty flows as wide as 1 inch.
    Bt2—55 to 77 centimeters (21.7 to 30.3 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) Error; fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0016004
    BC—77 to 88 centimeters (30.3 to 34.6 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) Error; fine subangular blocky structure; firm; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0016005. Compact in place.
    2R—88 to 146 centimeters (34.6 to 57.5 inches); fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6. Lab sample # OSU0016006. Highly weathered Black Hand sandstone ranging from hard, iron cemented portions to relatively soft highly weathered semi-cemented portions to relatively soft highly weathered semi-cemented loamy sand or sandy loam. Weathered in place. Top 4 to 5 inches is
