    1Oap—0 to 18 centimeters (0.0 to 7.1 inches); black (7.5YR 2/1) crushed Error; weak fine subangular blocky, and weak medium granular structure; very friable; 5.5 fine roots; fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.5, hellige-truog; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A13190. 74L857; about 10% fibers undisturbed and less than 2% rubbed; fibers dominantly from woody material but some herbaceous fibers also; 25% mineral content; many fine roots
    1Oa2—18 to 36 centimeters (7.1 to 14.2 inches); black (7.5YR 2/1) crushed Error; weak medium subangular blocky structure; very friable; 5.5 fine roots; fragments; slightly alkaline, pH 7.5, hellige-truog; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A13191. 74L858; about 30% fibers undisturbed, rubbed less than 5%; fibers dominantly from woody material with dark brown 7.5YR 3/2, 4/4, and 3/3 colors; about 30% mineral content; many fine roots
