Some pedons have a CB horizon. The C horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 3 through 5, and chroma of 2 through 4. Fine-earth texture is sandy loam, silt loam or loam. The horizon is massive, or has prismatic or platy structure. Consistence is friable or firm.
Reaction ranges from strongly acid to slightly acid.
Some pedons have a 2Cr horizon. In pedons that are only deep, the underlying 2R horizon is horizontal-bedded sandstone, siltstone, or shale. The Chatfield , Maplecrest , and Valois series are in the same family. Chatfield soils are less than 40 inches to bedrock. Maplecrest soils have 5YR or redder hue in the B horizon.
