The gravel content averages between 0 and 45 percent. It is gravelly coarse sand, gravelly sand, gravelly loamy coarse sand, gravelly loamy sand, and the very gravelly analogs of these textures. Rock fragment content ranges from 20 to 75 percent. Gardenvale soils have a paralithic contact within 60 inches. Menomin, Merimod, Merit and Sattre soils do not have carbonates above 40 inches.
Dresden soils are on outwash plains and stream terraces.
Slope gradients range from 0 to 30 percent. These soils formed in 24 to 40 inches of loamy sediments over calcareous stratified gravel and sand. Some pedons have a silty mantle that ranges from 0 to 20 inches in thickness. These are the Fox , Matherton , Warsaw , and Will soils. The well drained Fox and Warsaw soils form a biosequence with Dresden soils and are on similar parts of the landform.
