The dry soil has cracks 0.4 inch to 2 inches wide at the surface that extend to the C horizon. Thickness of the mollic epipedon ranges from 20 to about 35 inches and the amplitude of waviness of the lower boundary is about 15 to 30 inches. In over one half of the pedon, secondary carbonates are below 24 inches. The A horizon has a hue of 10YR with value of 2 to 4 and chroma of 1 or 2. Texture is loam, sandy clay loam, or clay loam.
Reaction is slightly acid to mildly alkaline.
In some pedons the microhighs are calcareous and moderately alkaline. Some pedons have 15 to 35 percent by volume of siliceous pebbles. The Bt or Btss horizons have hue of 10YR or 2.5Y with value of 3 to 6 and chroma of 1 or 2. Texture is sandy clay, clay, or silty clay. The average clay content of the upper 20 inches of the Bt horizon ranges from 40 to 50 percent.
