Weighted average clay content of the particle-size control section ranges from 60 to 76 percent. When dry, cracks 0.5 to 1.5 inches wide extend to the C horizon. Cracks remain open 90 to 150 cumulative days in most years. Undisturbed areas have gilgai microrelief with microlows 2 to 6 feet wide and 2 to 8 inches deep. The A horizon has color with hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 4.
Reaction ranges from neutral to slightly alkaline.
The Bss horizons have hue of 2.5Y or 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 4. Mottles in shades of brown or red range from none to common. Reaction ranges from neutral to moderately alkaline. Gypsum crystals range from few to common. Some pedons contain a few fine calcium carbonate nodules.
