Reaction in the E and Bt horizon is strongly acid to neutral and rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 5 percent. The C or BC horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 to 6. It is sandy loam, loamy sand or sand, or the fine and very fine analogs. In some pedons it is stratified both in colors and textures. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 5 percent, except the gravelly substratum phase ranges from 15 to 45 percent.
Reaction ranges from strongly acid to moderately alkaline.
These are the, Burnsville , Council , Hillsdale , Lamont , Lapeer , Mecan , and Wyocena soils. The Burnsville, Lapeer, and Wyocena soils are less than 40 inches to the base of the argillic horizon. Council soils average more than 40 percent silt in the particle-size control section. Hillsdale, Mecan, and Wyocena soils have a fine sand plus very fine sand content in the lower part of the series control section that average less than 50 percent absolute and less than 60 percent of the sand fraction. Lamont soils average less than 15 percent clay in the particle-size control section.
