    B21t—20 to 30 centimeters (7.9 to 11.8 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), grayish brown (10YR 5/2), dry; sandy clay loam; weak medium prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; very hard, firm; clay films on faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26654. horizon temperature 15.5 degrees centigrade.; continuous - phpvsfiid 187128; continuous - phpvsfiid 187128
    B22t—30 to 43 centimeters (11.8 to 16.9 inches); grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2), light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), dry; clay loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; hard, friable; clay films on all faces of peds; carbonate concretions; fragments; strong effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26655. This is a weak horizon of lime accumulation with some visible lime occurring as concretions or in thin seams and streaks; horizon temperature 15.5 degrees centigrade.; patchy - phpvsfiid 187129; patchy - phpvsfiid 187129

This is a moderate horizon of lime accumulation with visible lime occurring as concretions and in thins seams and streaks; horizon temperature 16.0 degrees centigrade.; patchy - phpvsfiid 187130; patchy - phpvsfiid 187130
    Cca1—69 to 89 centimeters (27.2 to 35.0 inches); grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2), light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2), dry; fine sandy loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; hard, very friable; carbonate concretions; fragments; violent effervescence; gradual smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A26657. This is a moderate horizon of lime accumulations with visible lime occurring mostly as concretions and in finely divided forms; horizon temperature 16 degrees centigrade.

Lab sample # 40A26659. This is a very weak horizon of lime accumulation and contains only an occasional concretion; there is an appreciable difference in lime between this horizon and the horizon which lies above and below it; horizon temperature 16 degrees centigrade.

Lab sample # 40A26660. This is a strong horizon of lime accumulation with visible lime occurring in divided forms; approximately 10 percent of this horizon is gravel and cobble which are concentrated in the surface inches; horizon temperature 17 degrees centigrade.
    Cca4—132 to 165 centimeters (52.0 to 65.0 inches); light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3), pale yellow (2.5Y 7/3), dry; gravelly sandy clay loam; massive; slightly hard, very friable; 20 percent by volume 2-39-75 millimeter unspecified fragments and 20 percent by volume 75-162-250 millimeter unspecified fragments; violent effervescence. Lab sample # 40A26661.
