Intersecting slickensides occur at depths ranging from 5 to 40 inches. The soil, if undisturbed, has microlows and microhighs that extend up and down the slope. Distance between center of the microhigh and center of microlow is 5 to 12 feet. When dry, this soil has cracks 1 to 5 cm. The upper 12 inches or more in 51 percent or more of each pedon has moist values of 3 and dry values of 4 or 5.
Reaction ranges from slightly acid to moderately alkaline and is noncalcareous or calcareous.
Clay content ranges from 40 to 50 percent. Some pedons have few to common brownish or yelloish mottles. Calcium carbonate concretions ra ge from 1 to 10 percent by volume in the AC and C horizons. These are the Anhalt , Bonita , Branyon , Burleson , Clarita , Crawford , Dalco , Ferris , Heyden, Houston Black , Indiahoma , Leeray , Leson , Luling , Paramore, Randall , Rimrock , San Saba , Stamford, Tobosa , and Watonga series. Anhalt soils have very-fine control sections.
