The mollic epipedon ranges from 10 to 21 inches in thickness and includes the AE or E horizon in some pedons. All horizons have base saturation greater than 50 percent. Free carbonates are not present within a depth of 60 inches. The series control section has sand content less than 8 percent and rock fragment content less than 1 percent. The particle- size control section averages between 35 and 42 percent clay.
Reaction is strongly acid to neutral.
It is silt loam. The E or AE horizon ranges from distinct to incipient. Clay depletions have value of 5 or 7, and chroma of 1 or 2. Some pedons have faint redoximorphic iron and manganese accumulations with value of 3 to 6 and chroma of 3 to 8. Individual subhorizons have between 25 and 45 percent clay.
