Few to many mica flakes are throughout the soil. Content of coarse fragments is less than 5 percent by volume in the A and upper B horizons. In some pedons, gravel content ranges to 15 percent by volume in the lower B horizons. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to slightly acid to a depth of 40 inches except for soils that have been limed. Below 40 inches reaction ranges from very strongly acid to mildly alkaline.
Concretions are few to common in some pedons.
The A or Ap horizon has hue of 5YR to 2.5Y, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 1 to 6. A1 or Ap horizons with value less than 4 are less than 7 inches thick. The A horizon is fine sandy loam, sandy loam, loam, silt loam, or clay loam. The Ab horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 2 to 5, and chroma of 1 or 2.
