    B1—15 to 33 centimeters (5.9 to 13.0 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) and very dark brown (10YR 2/2), moist; clay loam; moderate medium prismatic parts to moderate fine subangular blocky structure; hard, friable; fragments; noneffervescent. Lab sample # 40A18788
    Cca—33 to 66 centimeters (13.0 to 26.0 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), moist; clay loam; moderate coarse prismatic structure; hard, friable; 1 percent lime masses; fragments; strong effervescence. Lab sample # 40A18789
    Ccs—66 to 79 centimeters (26.0 to 31.1 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), olive brown (2.5Y 4/4), moist; clay loam; hard, friable; 21 percent gypsum masses; fragments; strong effervescence. Lab sample # 40A18790. There is a large amount of segregated gypsum that appear in packets of very dark grayish-brown (2.5Y 3/2, moist) firm clay.
