Typically there are pitted concretions of calcium carbonate in the lower part. These layers contain few fine flakes of mica in some pedons. There are no other series in this family. Similar soil are the Beaumont , Harris , Lake Charles , and Vamont series. Beaumont soils are more acid in the control section and receive more rainfall and have a P-E index more than 68.
