Undisturbed areas have gilgai microrelief with microknolls about 4 to 12 inches above the microdepressions. Distance from the center of the microknoll to the center of the microdepression ranges from 4 to about 15 feet. Colors with chroma of 2 or less in the subsoil are considered to be litho-chromic. Mottles with chroma of 3 or more, or redox concentrations, are considered to be relic or litho-chromic. The A horizon has colors of dark gray or black hue of 10YR and 2.5Y, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or less.
Reaction ranges from slightly acid through mildly alkaline.
Calcium carbonate concretions range from none to few. The Bss and Bkss horizons have colors of gray, olive, brown or yellow hue of 10YR, 2.5Y, and 5Y, value of 3 to 7, and chroma of 1 to 6. Matrix is calcareous. Mottles are in shades of yellow, brown, gray, and olive and range from few to many. Slickensides range from common to many and are a few inches to a few feet across.
