\<@27\>Commonly Associated Soils

-   \<@29\>Nankin soils, which are in more convex positions than those
    of the Faceville soils and have a thinner solum

    to those of the Faceville soils and are fine-loamy

\<@27\>Typical Pedon

\<@30\>Faceville fine sandy loam; from the Official Series Description
for the typical pedon located in Peach County, Georgia; USGS Warner
Robins SW topographic quadrangle; lat. 32 degrees 34 minutes 41 seconds
N. and long. 83 degrees 43 minutes 28 seconds W.

\<@23\>Ap---0 to 5 inches; brown (10YR 4/3) fine sandy loam; weak fine
granular structure; very friable; common fine and very fine roots;
strongly acid; abrupt smooth boundary.

\<@33\>BA---5 to 11 inches; yellowish red (5YR 5/6) sandy clay loam;
weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; common fine roots; few
faint clay films on faces of peds; strongly acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Bt1---11 to 28 inches; yellowish red (5YR 5/6) sandy clay;
moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; few fine roots;
common distinct clay films on faces of peds; strongly acid; gradual wavy
boundary.

\<@33\>Bt2---28 to 34 inches; red (2.5YR 4/6) sandy clay; moderate
medium subangular blocky structure; friable; common distinct clay films
on faces of peds; strongly acid; gradual irregular boundary.

\<@33\>Bt3---34 to 60 inches; red (2.5YR 4/6) sandy clay; moderate
medium subangular blocky structure; friable; common distinct and
prominent clay films on faces of peds; few fine prominent strong brown
(7.5YR 5/6) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) masses of iron accumulation;
strongly acid; diffuse irregular boundary.

\<@33\>Bt4---60 to 72 inches; about 34 percent dark red (10R 3/6), 33
percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6), and 33 percent very pale brown (10YR
7/3) sandy clay; strong medium subangular blocky structure; friable; few
distinct and prominent clay films on faces of peds; the areas of dark
red and yellowish brown are relict and contemporary iron accumulations,
and the areas of pale brown are relict and contemporary iron depletions;
strongly acid.
