    A—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) channery silt loam; 25 percent sand; 54 percent silt; 21 percent clay; weak fine granular structure; very friable; 3.0 medium roots throughout and ; 20 percent by volume flat subangular indurated 2-20-100 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 31 Percent of Base Saturation; 5 Percent of Aluminum Saturation; strongly acid, pH 5.2, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 07N01130; observed in cut
    AB—15 to 30 centimeters (5.9 to 11.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) channery silt loam; 24 percent sand; 55 percent silt; 21 percent clay; weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 medium roots throughout; 20 percent by volume flat subangular indurated 2-20-100 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 14 Percent of Base Saturation; 55 Percent of Aluminum Saturation; strongly acid, pH 5.3, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 07N01131; observed in cut
    Bw1—30 to 86 centimeters (11.8 to 33.9 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) channery silt loam; 23 percent sand; 54 percent silt; 23 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 1.0 coarse roots throughout; fragments and 25 percent by volume flat subangular indurated 2-50-250 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 14 Percent of Base Saturation; 55 Percent of Aluminum Saturation; strongly acid, pH 5.4, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 07N01132; observed in cut. This horizon was originally described as a Bt but lab data showed insignificant clay increase.

Lab sample # 07N01133; observed in cut. This horizon was originally described as a Bt but lab data showed insignificant clay increase.
