Coarse fragments range from 0 to 15 percent and are soft sandstone channers or semirounded pebbles. The soil is dry in the moisture control section more than half the time cumulative that the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees F. and is never moist in some or all parts for as long as 60 consecutive days when the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees F., which occurs about April 21-27, but is dry in all parts of the moisture control section for at least 60 consecutive days from July 15 to October 25 and for at least 90 cumulative days during this period. The mean annual soil temperature is 47 to 53 degrees F., and the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees F. or more for 175 to 192 days. EC ranges from 0 to 2 mmhos throughout the profile. Textures are typically sandy loam but may be sandy clay loam, fine sandy loam, very fine sandy loam, or loam.
Reaction is typically neutral or slightly alkaline but ranges to moderately alkaline in some pedons.
In pedons where mollic colors are present in this horizon, the layer is too thin to meet the requirements for a mollic epipedon. Texture is sandy clay loam with more than 35 percent fine sand or coarser. Clay ranges from 20 to 35 percent. Reaction is typically slightly alkaline but may range from neutral to moderately alkaline. Texture is typically sandy loam or sandy clay loam but may be fine sandy loam or very fine sandy loam.
