Slopes range from 2 to 60 percent. Mean annual temperature is about 48 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is about 34 inches. Some of the limestone fragments can be separated and have small amounts of reddish clayey material between them. Solum thickness typically is about 24 inches but ranges from 20 to 40 inches. A lithic contact with limestone bedrock is between 20 and 40 inches below the surface.
Primary carbonates are absent above the limestone bedrock.

The A and E horizons typically are silt loam or silty clay loam. The Bt horizon ranges from silt loam to silty clay loam with a clay range of 26 to 35 percent. The upper part of this horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 to 6.
