Some pedons have a 2Bt horizon with hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 4 to 6. It is sand, loamy sand, coarse sand, loamy coarse sand, or the gravelly analogs. The 2BC horizon has color and texture like the 2Bt horizon described above. The 2C horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of 3 to 6 or it is multicolored. It is sand, coarse sand, or the gravelly analogs.
Dresden soils have free carbonates in the lower part of the series control section.
Gardenvale soils have siliceous sand and a paralithic contact in the lower part of the series control section. Menomin soils have redox features and an apparent water table in the lower part of the series control section. Merit soils have siliceous sand in the lower part of the series control section. Slope gradients range from 0 to 20 percent. These soils formed primarily in loamy alluvium overlying sandy outwash.
