    A11—0 to 6 centimeters (0.0 to 2.4 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 3/4) loam; moderate very fine granular structure; very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 2-39-75 millimeter limestone, unspecified fragments; neutral, pH 7.3, unspecified; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A04010. Has the feel of a loam, but mechanical analysis probably will place it in the clay-textural class; limestone gravel is few.

Lab sample # 40A04011. Has the feel of a loam, but mechanical analysis probably will place it in the clay-textural class; limestone is few.
    R—15 to 100 centimeters (5.9 to 39.4 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A04012. Parent rock; hard limestone.
