It is slightly acid or neutral except pedons that have been limed include slightly alkaline. Some pedons have an AB horizon or a BA horizon. It typically is silty clay loam, but some subhorizons range to silt loam. Reaction is moderately acid to neutral. It typically is stratified.
Individual strata range from silty clay loam to sand or their gravelly analogs.
Most pedons have a subhorizon just above a coarser textured layer that contains an enrichment of clay or organic carbon. One or more subhorizons contain 5 percent or more gravel, but these soils contain less than 35 percent gravel within a depth of 40 inches. Reaction is moderately acid to neutral. It is stratified and ranges from very gravelly sandy loam to sand and gravel. Some pedons contain as much as 35 percent cobbles.
