    Aoo—0 to 4 centimeters (0.0 to 1.6 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A21218. Loose oak leaves and pine needles.
    Ao—4 to 5 centimeters (1.6 to 2.0 inches); black (10YR 2/1); 21.0 fine roots; fragments. Lab sample # 40A21219. decomposed litter containing fungal mycelia which bind the layer into a coherent mat.
    A1—5 to 9 centimeters (2.0 to 3.5 inches); very dark gray (10YR 3/1) and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), gray (10YR 5/1) and light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; silt loam; weak fine granular structure; loose; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A21220. estimated less than 10 percent chert fragments greater than 3/4-inch diameter than 3/4-inch diameter
    A21—9 to 19 centimeters (3.5 to 7.5 inches); grayish brown (10YR 5/2), very pale brown (10YR 8/2), dry; silt loam; weak fine granular structure; very friable; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, bromcresol green; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A21221. estimated less than 10 percent chert fragments greater than 3/4-inch diameter
    A22—19 to 34 centimeters (7.5 to 13.4 inches); pale brown (10YR 6/3), very pale brown (10YR 8/3), dry; silt loam; friable; 3.0 fine tubular pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, chlorophenol red; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A21222. flat chert surfaces give appearance of blocky structure but peds cannot be identified; many fine and medium vesicles
    A23—34 to 51 centimeters (13.4 to 20.1 inches); light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), very pale brown (10YR 7/4) and very pale brown (10YR 8/2), dry; silt loam; friable; 21.0 fine and medium tubular pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, chlorophenol red; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A21223. flat chert surfaces give appearance of blocky structure but peds cannot be identified; estimated less than 10 percent chert fragments greater than 3/4-inch diameter
    B1—51 to 63 centimeters (20.1 to 24.8 inches); silty clay loam; light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and yellowish red (5YR 5/6) and strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) fine faint mottles; weak fine angular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 fine tubular pores; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8, bromcresol green; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A21224. there is a weak association of the high value colors with pore spaces; estimated 15 percent chert greater than 3/4-inch diameter
    B2—63 to 96 centimeters (24.8 to 37.8 inches); silty clay loam; light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and reddish yellow (5YR 6/6) and yellowish red (5YR 5/6) mottles; weak fine angular blocky structure; friable; 3.0 fine tubular pores; yellowish red (5YR 5/6) clay films on faces of peds; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8, bromcresol green; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A21225. clay films in tubular pores; when soil is dry there are many very thin gray silt coatings on natural surfaces and these are responsible for the 10YR 6/4 colors in the moist soil; estimated 25 percent chert fragments greater than 3/4-inch diameter
    B3—96 to 119 centimeters (37.8 to 46.9 inches); silty clay; light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and red (2.5YR 5/6) mottles; weak fine angular blocky structure; friable, slightly plastic; 10 percent red (2.5YR 5/6) clay films; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8, bromcresol green; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # 40A21226. many pale-colored silty surfaces are evident when material is dry; chert fragments are sharply angular with discontinuous clay films and dark oxide dendrites on faces; estimated 25 percent chert greater than 3/4-inch diameter; there is a slight concentration of chert at the bottom of this horizon and in the top of the underlying material
    D1?—119 to 135 centimeters (46.9 to 53.1 inches); pale yellow (5Y 8/2) silty clay, silty clay loam; 21 percent strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) fine mottles; moderate medium and coarse angular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky; light gray (5Y 7/2); fragments; abrupt boundary. Lab sample # 40A21227. some mottles are tubular pore fillings of clayey material; chert is angular and lacks surface oxide stains; estimated less than 10 percent of chert greater than 3/4-inch diameter
    D2?—135 to 157 centimeters (53.1 to 61.8 inches); clay; yellowish red (5YR 5/6) and red (2.5YR 4/6) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) mottles; weak fine angular blocky structure; firm; yellowish red (5YR 5/6) clay films; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8, bromcresol green; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A21228. few angular inclusions of white material similar to layer above; clay films on some surfaces account for much of the mottled appearance; estimated 20 percent chert greater than 3/4-inch diameter
    D3?—157 to 196 centimeters (61.8 to 77.2 inches); red (2.5YR 4/6) clay; 1 percent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) mottles; weak fine angular blocky structure; firm; fragments. Lab sample # 40A21229. some white (5Y 8/1) clay fragments are included in the matrix; many faces are partially coated with black iron-manganese oxides; estimated less than 10 percent angular chert greater than 3/4-inch diameter. Horizontally this layer grades into material having 5YR 4/6 base color, more 5Y 8/1 and 10YR 4/6 material.
