Where bedrock is 5 to 8 feet from the surface some pedons lack a C horizon. These are the Baltimore , Bassett , Blooming , Cadmus , Caleb , Crocker, Dowagiac , Dunbridge , Gara , Lester , Longlois , Lydick , Mohawk , Neda , Octagon , Oneco , Orwood , Racine , Razort , Renox , Waucoma , and Winneshiek in the same family and the Durand and Pecatonica soils. All the soils in the same family except Baltimore, Waucoma, and Winneshiek lack red hues in the lower sola. Baltimore soils have thinner sola and lack a lithologic discontinuity within the solum. Waucoma and Winneshiek soils have a lithic contact within depths of 60 inches.
Durand soils have mollic epipedons.
Pecatonica soils lack surface layers with a color value darker than 4. Argyle soils are on gently rolling to steep till plains and moraines. Slopes range from 2 to 18 percent. The upper part of the solum formed in 15 to 25 inches of loess or silty material and the lower part in reddish paleosols formed in glacial drift of early Wisconsin Age. Summers are hot and winters are cold.
