    Ap—0 to 10 centimeters (0.0 to 3.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; silt loam; weak very fine and fine granular structure; friable; 3.0 medium roots and 10.0 fine roots; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated 2-20-75 millimeter chert fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, hellige-truog; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # MU034213
    Bt1—10 to 28 centimeters (3.9 to 11.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silt loam; weak very fine and fine granular structure; friable; 3.0 very fine and fine roots; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5, hellige-truog; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # MU034214. Clay films were assumed to be present because of large enough clay pickup to be considered part of the argillic. Horizon designation was changed from E to Bt1.
    Bt2—28 to 38 centimeters (11.0 to 15.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silt loam; weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 very fine and fine roots; 10 percent faint clay films on all faces of peds; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated 2-20-75 millimeter chert fragments; neutral, pH 7.0, hellige-truog; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # MU034215
    Bt3—38 to 53 centimeters (15.0 to 20.9 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silt loam; moderate very fine and fine subangular blocky structure; firm; 0.5 medium roots and 3.0 fine roots; 10 percent faint clay films on all faces of peds; 5 percent by volume nonflat indurated 2-20-75 millimeter chert fragments; neutral, pH 7.0, hellige-truog; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # MU034216
    Bt4—53 to 66 centimeters (20.9 to 26.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) silt loam; weak fine subangular blocky structure; firm; 3.0 very fine and fine roots and 0.5 medium roots; 10 percent faint clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, hellige-truog; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # MU034217
    2Btx1—66 to 81 centimeters (26.0 to 31.9 inches); light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) very gravelly silt loam; massive; very firm; brittle; 10 percent by volume nonflat indurated 75-150-250 millimeter chert fragments and 45 percent by volume nonflat indurated 2-20-75 millimeter chert fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, hellige-truog; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # MU034218. Previous series descriptions have used 2Ex as the first horizon in the fragipan followed by a 2Btx. Further study has shown that these horizons do contain evidence of clay illuviation and should be considered part of the argillic, even if the clay decreases. It is assumed that the clay increased in these horizons relative to the original surface.
    2Btx2—81 to 130 centimeters (31.9 to 51.2 inches); yellowish red (5YR 4/6) and light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) extremely gravelly silt loam; massive; very firm; brittle; 30 percent distinct clay films on vertical faces of peds; 20 percent by volume nonflat indurated 75-150-250 millimeter chert fragments and 50 percent by volume nonflat indurated 2-20-75 millimeter chert fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, hellige-truog; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # MU034219
    3Bt—130 to 152 centimeters (51.2 to 59.8 inches); yellowish red (5YR 4/6) and red (2.5YR 4/8) and strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) extremely cobbly clay; weak fine angular blocky structure; firm; 60 percent prominent clay films on all faces of peds; 80 percent by volume nonflat indurated 75-150-250 millimeter chert fragments; neutral, pH 7.0, hellige-truog. Lab sample # MU034220
