    A1—0 to 5 centimeters (0.0 to 2.0 inches); very dark brown (10YR 2/2) loam, fine sandy loam; weak very fine and fine granular structure; very friable; 21.0 fine roots; 21.0 pores; fragments; clear boundary. Lab sample # 40A02204. Not sampled; many clean white sand grains; spots of relatively dark A2 are present locally.
    B21—5 to 13 centimeters (2.0 to 5.1 inches); dark brown (10YR 3/3) loam, very fine sandy loam; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A02205
    B22—13 to 25 centimeters (5.1 to 9.8 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) loam, very fine sandy loam; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A02206. Not sampled.
    B23—25 to 38 centimeters (9.8 to 15.0 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) loam, very fine sandy loam; weak very fine granular structure; very friable; 3.0 roots; fragments. Lab sample # 40A02207. Digs out in irregular pieces that appear to have some pressure faces. Not studied below this depth except to note that colors become lighter and lower in chroma; and textures become coarser with depth, grading to fine sand.
