    A—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) gravelly silt loam; 25 percent sand; 56 percent silt; 19 percent clay; weak fine granular structure; very friable; 20 percent by volume subangular indurated 2-50-100 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 45 Percent of Base Saturation; moderately acid, pH 5.7, pH meter; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 07N01136; observed in pit, small
    BE—15 to 36 centimeters (5.9 to 14.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) gravelly silt loam; 22 percent sand; 59 percent silt; 19 percent clay; weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; 15 percent by volume subangular indurated 2-25-100 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 30 Percent of Base Saturation; moderately acid, pH 5.6, pH meter; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 07N01137; observed in pit, small
    Bw1—36 to 58 centimeters (14.2 to 22.8 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) gravelly silt loam; 24 percent sand; 57 percent silt; 19 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 20 percent by volume subangular indurated 2-50-100 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 9 Percent of Base Saturation; strongly acid, pH 5.2, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 07N01138; observed in pit, small. Horizon lacks the clay increase in the 30cm below the BE. The fine clay to total clay ratio suggest an argillic is forming, but the subsurface horizons are similar in color and structure.
    Bw2—58 to 114 centimeters (22.8 to 44.9 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) gravelly silt loam; 25 percent sand; 54 percent silt; 21 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 20 percent by volume subangular indurated 2-50-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 7 Percent of Base Saturation; strongly acid, pH 5.2, pH meter; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 07N01139; observed in pit, small. Horizon lacks the clay increase in the 30cm below the BE. The fine clay to total clay ratio suggest an argillic is forming, but the subsurface horizons are similar in color and structure.
    2BC1—114 to 157 centimeters (44.9 to 61.8 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) very gravelly clay loam; 21 percent sand; 48 percent silt; 29 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; 35 percent by volume subangular indurated 2-50-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 6 Percent of Base Saturation; strongly acid, pH 5.1, pH meter; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 07N01140; observed in pit, small
    2BC2—157 to 211 centimeters (61.8 to 83.1 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) very gravelly loam; 24 percent sand; 50 percent silt; 26 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky structure; firm; 35 percent by volume subangular indurated 2-50-350 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments; 11 Percent of Base Saturation; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, pH meter.
