The solum lacks free carbonates, but carbonates are in the C horizon of most pedons. Depth to free carbonates ranges from 36 to 60 inches. The mollic epipedon ranges from 20 to 38 inches in thickness and extends into the upper part of the B horizon. The A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 through 5 and 2 or 3 moist, and chroma of 1 or 2. It is typically silt loam but includes loam and silty clay loam.
Reaction is slightly acid or neutral.
The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 through 6 and 2 through 4 moist, and chroma of 1 through 3. It is typically silty clay loam , but includes silt loam averaging between 20 and 35 percent clay. Reaction ranges from slightly acid to slightly alkaline. The BC horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 5 through 7 and 4 through 6 moist, and chroma of 2 or 3. It is typically silt loam, ranging to include very fine sandy loam, loam, and silty clay loam.
