The A horizon is moderately acid to slightly alkaline. Some subhorizons have chroma of 4. They typically are sand, coarse sand, loamy sand, or loamy coarse sand, but some pedons have thin subhorizons of fine sand. The C horizon ranges from moderately acid to moderately alkaline. These are the Cormant and Wheatley series in the same family and the Deford , Edmore , Epoufette , Granby , Kinross , Maumee , Newton , Scarboro , and Tobico series.
Cormant soils have a sand fraction dominated by fine sand.
Wheatley and Epoufette soils have stratified calcareous sand and gravel within the 10 to 40 inch control section. Deford soils have fine sand, loamy fine sand, or very fine sand textures. Edmore soils have more than 15 percent clay in the control section and are mesic. Granby, Maumee, and Newton have mollic epipedons and are mesic. Kinross soils are strongly acid and have spodic horizons.
