    A1—0 to 13 centimeters (0.0 to 5.1 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) silt loam; moderate fine and medium granular structure; very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A01654. Upper 1 inch weakly platy.
    B21—13 to 36 centimeters (5.1 to 14.2 inches); very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) and very dark brown (10YR 2/2) clay; weak coarse prismatic parts to weak coarse subangular blocky structure; very firm; distinct clay films and light gray (10YR 7/1), moist, silt coats on faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A01655. Sil coats extend about 1 inch into horizon; boundary dips from 14 inches to 17 inches and back to 13 inches in a 30 inches horizontal width; peds adhere strongly to one another.; continuous - phpvsfiid 186383; continuous - phpvsfiid 186384; continuous - phpvsfiid 186383; continuous - phpvsfiid 186384
