    A1—0 to 8 centimeters (0.0 to 3.1 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), light gray (10YR 7/2), dry; fine sandy loam; weak medium platy parts to very fine granular structure; soft, very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A24483
    B2t—8 to 17 centimeters (3.1 to 6.7 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; clay loam; moderate coarse columnar parts to moderate medium angular blocky structure; extremely hard, very firm; fragments; noneffervescent; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A24484. Tops of the structural aggregates are somewhat rounded and in places appear to have a medium platy structure in the upper 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
    B3ca—17 to 25 centimeters (6.7 to 9.8 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), pale yellow (2.5Y 8/2), dry; loam; weak medium angular blocky structure; very hard, very firm; fragments; strong effervescence; gradual irregular boundary. Lab sample # 40A24485. Horizon contains much accumulated lime chiefly as lime flour.
    C1ca—25 to 51 centimeters (9.8 to 20.1 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), pale yellow (2.5Y 8/2), dry; loam; massive; very hard, firm; fragments; strong effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A24486. Horizon contains much calcium carbonate chiefly as lime flour.
    C2ca—51 to 69 centimeters (20.1 to 27.2 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), light gray (2.5Y 7/2), dry; sandy clay loam; massive; extremely hard, very firm; fragments; strong effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A24487. Horizon contains much accumulated lime chiefly as lime flour.
    C3—69 to 107 centimeters (27.2 to 42.1 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), light gray (2.5Y 7/2), dry; sandy clay loam; massive; extremely hard, firm; fragments; strong effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A24488. Horizon contains much accumulated lime chiefly as lime flour but there is somewhat less than in the two horizons above.
    C4—107 to 117 centimeters (42.1 to 46.1 inches); olive (5Y 5/3), pale yellow (5Y 7/3), dry; fine sandy loam; massive; hard, friable; fragments; strong effervescence. Lab sample # 40A24489
