The remaining Bt horizons have hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 through 7 and 4 or 5 moist, and chroma of 2 through 4. Thin, shiny dark coatings are common on fresh exposed surfaces of peds throughout these horizons. Reddish brown mottles below a depth of 30 inches are common. The C horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 through 7 and 4 or 5 moist, and chroma of 2 through 4. It is silty clay loam, clay loam, silt loam, or loam.
Reaction is generally neutral.
Below a depth of 55 inches the texture ranges from fine sandy loam to sand in some pedons. These are the Lancaster , Loretto , and Wells series in the same family and the Houdek , Moody , Paka , and Ree series. Lancaster soils are moderately deep over sandstone or sandy shale. Loretto soils typically have less clay in the Bt horizon and have carbonates higher in the profile. Wells soils formed in residuum weathered from reddish sandstone and sandy shale.
