    Ap—0 to 20 centimeters (0.0 to 7.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; silt loam; moderate fine granular, and moderate very fine granular structure; friable; common fine roots; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.6; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0025737. "very dark gray (10YR 3/1) in the upper 3 inches" was described. I assume that means the matrix color.
    BE—20 to 30 centimeters (7.9 to 11.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silt loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm; few fine roots; brown (10YR 5/3), moist, silt coats; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0025738. Many "coatings" were described. Since this is a BE horizon, I assume they are silt coatings.
    Bt1—30 to 51 centimeters (11.8 to 20.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) clay loam; moderate coarse subangular blocky, and moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm; few fine roots; yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), moist, clay films; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # OSU0025739. Many clay films were described.
    Bt2—51 to 74 centimeters (20.1 to 29.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silty clay loam; moderate medium prismatic parts to weak medium subangular blocky structure; firm; few fine roots; brown (10YR 5/3), moist, clay films; medium distinct grayish brown (10YR 5/2), moist, masses of reduced iron and medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0025740. Many low chroma mottles, and common high chroma mottles were described. Many "coatings" were described. Since this is a Bt horizon, I assume these are clay films.
    BC—74 to 102 centimeters (29.1 to 40.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silty clay loam; moderate coarse prismatic parts to weak medium subangular blocky structure; firm; light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), moist, clay films; medium distinct gray (10YR 6/1), moist, masses of reduced iron and medium distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), moist, iron-manganese masses; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0025741. Many mottles were described. Many clay films on faces of prisms were described.
    C—102 to 165 centimeters (40.2 to 65.0 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) silty clay loam; structureless massive; very firm; medium distinct grayish brown (10YR 5/2), moist, masses of reduced iron; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated unspecified fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.2; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # OSU0025742. Many mottles were described.
    Cr—165 to 203 centimeters (65.0 to 79.9 inches); fragments. 10YR 4/1 and 10YR 3/2 weathered shale.; "dark gray (10YR 4/1) and very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), soft shale bedrock; very firm; very strongly acid." was described.
