    Ap—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) interior gravelly loam; 16 percent clay; moderate medium granular structure; friable, extremely weak, nonsticky, nonplastic; rapid permeability; 2.0 fine and medium roots throughout; 25 percent by volume well rounded 2-39-75 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, hellige-truog; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 92P02094; moist when described;. estimated rock fragments > 3/4" by volume: 20% (29% by wt.). This horizon is out of RIC for OSED because color value cannot be lower than 4.
    Bt1—15 to 41 centimeters (5.9 to 16.1 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) interior very gravelly sandy clay loam; 22 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable, weak, nonsticky, nonplastic; moderately rapid permeability; 1.0 very fine and fine roots throughout; 1.0 very fine and fine moderate-continuity discontinuous tubular pores; 20 percent by volume well rounded 75-162-250 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments and 40 percent by volume well rounded 2-39-75 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, hellige-truog; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 92P02095; moist when described;. estimated rock fragments > 3/4" by volume: 21% (29% by wt.), out of RIC for OSED because SCL textures should only be a subhorizon of the subsoil
    Bt2—41 to 58 centimeters (16.1 to 22.8 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) interior very gravelly sandy clay loam; 25 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable, weak, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; moderately rapid permeability; 1.0 very fine and fine roots throughout; 2.0 fine moderate-continuity discontinuous tubular pores; 25 percent by volume well rounded 75-162-250 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments and 50 percent by volume well rounded 2-39-75 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, hellige-truog; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 92P02096; moist when described;. estimated rock fragment > 3/4" by volume: 17% (26% by wt.), this horizon is out of RIC for OSED because clay % cannot exceed 22%
    BC—58 to 69 centimeters (22.8 to 27.2 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) interior very gravelly loamy coarse sand; 7 percent clay; weak medium subangular blocky structure; very friable, very weak, nonsticky, nonplastic; rapid permeability; 1.0 very fine and fine roots throughout; 25 percent by volume well rounded 75-162-250 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments and 35 percent by volume well rounded 2-39-75 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments; neutral, pH 7.0, hellige-truog; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 92P02097; moist when described;. estimated rock fragments > 3/4" by volume: 8% (13% by wt.). The solum depth is out of RIC for OSED because solum must be within 40-80".
    C—69 to 152 centimeters (27.2 to 59.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) interior very gravelly coarse sand; 2 percent clay; single grain; loose, extremely weak, nonsticky, nonplastic; very rapid permeability; 5 percent by volume well rounded 75-162-250 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments and 50 percent by volume well rounded 2-39-75 millimeter mixed igneous-metamorphic-sedimentary fragments; neutral, pH 7.0, hellige-truog. Lab sample # 92P02098; moist when described;. estimated rock fragments> 3/4"""" by volume: 24% (36% by wt.), it is estimated that although the pit depth is only 49"""" the C horizon and subsequent other C horizons extends well beyond 71"""" and can be greater than 90 feet since pedon is located 90 feet above the Delaware River.
