    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); black (10YR 2/1) and very dark gray (10YR 3/1) Error; weak fine granular, and weak subangular blocky structure; friable; 1 percent iron-manganese concretions; fragments; moderately alkaline, pH 8.0; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019796
    BA—20 to 28 centimeters (7.9 to 11.0 inches); black (10YR 2/1) and very dark gray (10YR 3/1) Error; weak coarse angular blocky structure; friable; fragments; moderately alkaline, pH 8.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019797. Few igneous pebbles less than 0.25 inch in diameter.
    B1—28 to 41 centimeters (11.0 to 16.1 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) and dark gray (10YR 4/1) Error; strong coarse angular blocky, and strong angular blocky structure; firm; 10 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese concretions and 33 percent medium prominent olive brown (2.5Y 4/4), moist, masses of oxidized iron; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.8; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019798. Very dark gray (10YR 3/1) ped coatings that were not definitely identified as clay films. Coarse skeleton is igneous pebbles less than 0.25 inch in diameter.
    B2—41 to 56 centimeters (16.1 to 22.0 inches); 40 percent olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) and dark gray (10YR 4/1) Error; prismatic, and moderate coarse prismatic structure; firm; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.8; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0019799. Medium prismatic structure parts easily to moderate, medium, subangular blocky structure. Patchy areas within the dark gray (10YR 4/1) coatings have a high sheen which appears to be slickenslides. Very patchy dark gray (10YR 4/1) clay films in pores. 25%
