    Ap—0 to 28 centimeters (0.0 to 11.0 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) loamy fine sand; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 21.0 fine roots; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6, unspecified; abrupt wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02019
    B21—28 to 46 centimeters (11.0 to 18.1 inches); strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) loamy fine sand; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 21.0 fine and medium roots; fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.5, unspecified; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02020. A few large brittle roots, apparently of a shrub that had been removed.
    B22—46 to 89 centimeters (18.1 to 35.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) and brown (7.5YR 5/3) fine sand; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 3.0 fine and medium roots; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02021. Few 1/2 to 1-1/2 inch lenticular to circular areas of lower chroma (7.5YR 5/3) suggestive of the diffuse B of sandy Gray Brown Podzolic soils. These are slightly more coherent than the matrix.
    B23—89 to 122 centimeters (35.0 to 48.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 5/4) and light brown (7.5YR 6/4) loamy fine sand, fine sand; weak very fine granular, and single grain; very friable; 3.0 fine and medium roots; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02022. Loamy fine sand forms an intricate pattern of darker slightly more coherent material with in the matrix of fine sand.
    B24—122 to 155 centimeters (48.0 to 61.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) sand; 3 percent medium faint mottles; weak very fine granular, and single grain; firm; 3.0 fine and medium roots; weakly coherent cemented very dark brown (10YR 2/2) and 3 percent weakly coherent cemented very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2); fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.6, unspecified; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A02023. A horizon of coarser sands representing a discontinuity in material, common in stratified water laid material.
    C11—155 to 203 centimeters (61.0 to 79.9 inches); light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) sand; brown (7.5YR 4/2) medium and coarse and brown (7.5YR 4/3) and brown (10YR 4/3) and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) mottles; weak very fine granular, and single grain; very friable; 0.5 fine roots; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02024. Roots are mainly dead.
    C12—203 to 226 centimeters (79.9 to 89.0 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/2) sand; single grain; loose; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, unspecified; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A02025. Few very thin varves of fine sandy loam; temperature 56 degrees F; the water table stood in the horizon when sampled.
    C2—226 to 236 centimeters (89.0 to 92.9 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/2) sand; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.2, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A02026. Not sampled; few thin very fine sand lenses. Saturated.
