The moderately fine textured sediments average 35 to 40 percent clay and 10 to 20 percent sand, much of which is very fine or fine. Gravel size or larger fragments are lacking or are rare in this part of the solum. The 10 to 40 inch control section averages about 32 to 35 percent clay. The mollic epipedon typically is 20 to 24 inches thick but is as thin as 16 inches in some pedons. The A horizon typically is silty clay loam with 35 to 40 percent clay, but thin horizons of silty clay with up to about 42 percent clay are within the range.
Reaction is slightly acid or neutral.
A BA horizon up to about 10 inches thick is in some pedons instead of an AB horizon. The Bt horizon has values of 3 or 4 in the upper part. The value increases to 5 in the 2Bg horizon. Values of 3 or darker do not extend below 24 inches except as discontinuous coats on faces of peds. Hues are 5Y or 2.5Y and chromas are 1 or 2 in the Bt and 2Bg horizons.
