Coarse fragments chert and limestone pebbles range from few to 15 percent by volume in the upper Bss and 10 to 40 percent in the lower part of the Bk horizon. Clay content in the 10 to 40 inch control section is 40 to 60 percent. Texture of the B horizons is dominantly clay or silty clay. In some pedons below 24 inches, it is silty clay loam or clay loam or their gravelly counterparts. Some pedons contain horizons that are very gravelly and 2 to 6 inches thick.
Fragments are mostly chert but include some limestone.
Reaction is neutral through moderately alkaline. Weakly consolidated to cemented and weathered or indurated limestone occurs in some pedons at depths below 60 inches. These include the Deport , Frelsburg , Ferris , Latium , Medlin . Deport soils have developed over clayey sediments and are over 80 inches thick. Frelsburg, Ferris, Latium and Medlin soils have hue of 10YR or grayer throughout and are calcareous in the surface layers.
