abrupt wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Btg---55 to 80 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) sandy clay loam; weak
medium subangular blocky structure; slightly sticky and plastic; common
fine and medium roots; neutral.

\<@27\>Range in Characteristics

\<@33\>\<i\>*Flooding:*\<p\> None to frequent for long periods

\<@23\>\<i\>*A horizon:*\<p\>

\<@31\>Color---hue of 10YR, value of 2 to 5, and chroma of 1 or 2. Where
value is 3 or less, the horizon is less than 8 inches thick.

\<@31\>Texture---fine sand, sand, or their mucky analogs

\<@23\>\<i\>*Bw horizon (where present):*\<p\>

\<@31\>Color---hue of 10YR, value of 4 to 7, and chroma of 3 to 8

\<@31\>Texture---sand or fine sand

\<@23\>\<i\>*E horizon:*\<p\>

\<@31\>Color---hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 7, and chroma of 1 to 8

\<@31\>Redoximorphic features---pore linings in shades of yellow and
brown

\<@31\>Texture---fine sand

\<@23\>\<i\>*Btg horizon:*\<p\>

\<@31\>Color---hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 7, and chroma of 2 or
less; or neutral in hue and value of 4 to 7

\<@31\>Redoximorphic features---iron depletions in shades of gray and
iron masses in shades of red, yellow, and brown

some pedons, loamy fine sand

\<@23\>\<i\>*Cr layer (where present):*\<p\>

\<@31\>Color---hue of 10YR, value of 6 to 8, and chroma of 1 to 4

\<@31\>Bedrock---soft, weathered, fractured limestone that has low to
high excavation difficulty. It typically has soft carbonate
accumulations that contain few to many fragments of hard limestone or
chert. It is highly irregular and complex. It is interspersed with
solution holes that are filled with minerals that range in texture from
sandy loam to sandy clay. The holes range from 4 to 12 inches in
diameter. The depth to limestone varies widely within short distances.

\<@31\>Bedrock---hard, unweathered limestone that has very high or
extremely high excavation difficulty. In some pedons, it has solution
holes that range from 4 to 12 inches in diameter. The depth to limestone
varies widely within short distances.
