    A1—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) Error; fine granular structure; 2 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.5; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019653. abaout 25% of sand grains clean and uncoated;
    10 to 25 centimeters (3.9 to 9.8 inches); pale brown (10YR 6/3) Error; fine granular structure; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019654
    B1—25 to 51 centimeters (9.8 to 20.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Error; single grain; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0 irregular boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019655. 10% rounded weathered sandstone fragments;
    B1—51 to 71 centimeters (20.1 to 28.0 inches); light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) Error; single grain; 11 percent medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, masses of oxidized iron; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0 irregular boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019656. 15 to 20 percent sandstone fragments 1 to 4 inches in diameter; 5 to 10 percent highly weathered, easily crushed sandstone fragments;
    R—71 to 76 centimeters (28.0 to 29.9 inches); fragments. Massive black band sandstone, in which there are conglomeritic zones. Grain size is dominantly medium to coarse sand, but highly quartzitic pebbles of gravel size are imbedded in the conglomerate parts of the rock.
