    A12—1 to 2 centimeters (0.4 to 0.8 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3), gray (10YR 5/1), dry; silt loam; weak fine granular structure; very friable; fine roots top of horizon; fragments. Lab sample # 40A02121
    A21—2 to 3 centimeters (0.8 to 1.2 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) silt loam; weak thin platy structure; fragments. Lab sample # 40A02122. Weakly matted with mycelium.
    A22—3 to 5 centimeters (1.2 to 2.0 inches); brown (10YR 5/3) channery silt loam; weak very thin platy structure; friable; 21.0 fine roots; silt coats on faces of peds; fragments smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A02123. discontinuous - phpvsfiid 183902; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 183902
    B—5 to 41 centimeters (2.0 to 16.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) channery silt loam; moderate coarse subangular blocky parts to moderate fine subangular blocky, and weak fine granular structure; firm; 21.0 roots; fragments. Lab sample # 40A02124. Pores evident.
    A'2x—41 to 61 centimeters (16.1 to 24.0 inches); olive (5Y 5/3) and light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) channery silt loam; 3 percent olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) fine faint mottles; weak thick platy structure; very firm; brittle; fragments; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02125
    B'x1—61 to 86 centimeters (24.0 to 33.9 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) channery loam; 3 percent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) coarse prominent and 3 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) coarse prominent and 3 percent olive (5Y 5/3) coarse prominent mottles; moderate very coarse prismatic structure; extremely firm*; brittle; 0.5 roots; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A02126. Mottles are also faint; prominent mottles border the prisms, faint mottles are inside the domed prisms.
    B'x2—86 to 107 centimeters (33.9 to 42.1 inches); olive brown (2.5Y 4/4) channery loam; weak very coarse prismatic structure; extremely firm*; between peds; clay films in root channels and/or pores; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A02127. Outside of prisms are olive colored (5Y 5/3), but under the surface is a thin layer of strong brown, which gives broken prisms the appearance of being streaked vertically and horizontally.
