    A1—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2), light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), dry; loamy sand; moderate very fine granular structure; soft, very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A30094
    A3—5 to 10 centimeters (2.0 to 3.9 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; fine sandy loam; weak and moderate fine granular structure; slightly hard, very friable; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A30095
    B2t—10 to 25 centimeters (3.9 to 9.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3), brown (10YR 5/3), dry; fine sandy loam; weak and moderate coarse prismatic parts to moderate medium subangular blocky structure; hard, very friable; gibbsite coats and clay bridges and 75 percent clay films on all faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A30096. patchy - phpvsfiid 187179; patchy - phpvsfiid 187179
    B3—25 to 38 centimeters (9.8 to 15.0 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; fine sandy loam; weak coarse prismatic parts to weak and moderate medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable; coats and clay bridges and 10 percent clay films on vertical faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent; gradual smooth boundary.

    Cca1—38 to 79 centimeters (15.0 to 31.1 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; fine sandy loam; weak coarse subangular blocky structure; soft, very friable; 1 percent carbonate concretions and gypsum threads; fragments; strong effervescence; gradual wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A30098. This is a weak Ca horizon with some visible calcium carbonate occurring as concretions and as thin seams and streaks.
    Cca2—79 to 152 centimeters (31.1 to 59.8 inches); brown (10YR 5/3), pale brown (10YR 6/3), dry; loamy fine sand; single grain; soft, very friable; carbonate concretions; fragments; strong effervescence. Lab sample # 40A30099. There is a small amount of accumulated calcium carbonate in this horizon but less than in the horizon above.
