Depth to bedrock is more than 60 inches. Textures in the fine-earth fraction of the mineral solum range from silt loam to coarse sandy loam in the upper 10 inches, fine sandy loam to coarse sand between 10 and 17 inches, and from loamy sand to coarse sand below 17 inches. The substratum is loamy coarse sand, sand, or coarse sand in the fine-earth fraction. Some pedons have strata of sand, gravel, and cobbles in the substratum. Rock fragment content averages 35 to 60 percent in the particle- size control section but individual horizons range from 5 to 60 percent in the upper part of the mineral solum and from 35 to 75 percent in the lower part of the solum and in the substratum.
Rock fragments are mostly gravel with some cobbles and a few stones.
In some pedons there is discontinuous cementation in the B and C horizons. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to moderately acid in the solum and very strongly acid to moderately acid in the substratum. The Oa horizon, and the Oe horizon where present, has hue of 2.5YR or 5YR, value of 2 and chroma of 1 or 2. They have weak very fine or fine granular structure. The A horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR, value of 3 or 4 and chroma of 1 or 2.
