Clay depletions are a common feature. Texture is clay loam or loam, but ranges to silty clay loam in the upper part when the silt cap is thicker. Hue is 7.5YR or 10YR, value is 4 to 6, and chroma is 3 to 6. Reaction is strongly acid to neutral. Hue is 7.5YR or 10YR, value is 4 to 6, and chroma is 3 to 6.
Reaction is slightly acid to moderately alkaline.
Some pedons have secondary carbonate accumulations, although most of these subhorizons have lower calcium carbonate equivalent than the parent material. Calcium carbonate equivalent is 0 to 30 percent. Those horizons that have 20 to 25 percent clay must also have 10 percent or more very fine sand. Sand content averages 35 to 60 percent. Silt content averages 35 to 45 percent.
