The Bt horizons have hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma from 4 through 8. Mottles range from none to many, with hues of 10R to 10YR, value of 4 to 7, and chroma from 3 to 8. The Btv horizons have the same colors as the upper Bt horizons, and in addition, contain few to many mottles with value of 6 or 7, and chroma from 1 to 3. The Btv horizon contains 5 to 20 percent plinthite in some part. The texture of the Bt and Btv horizons is sandy clay loam or clay loam throughout, with a clay content ranging from 20 to 35 percent.
Reaction is strongly acid to very strongly acid.
These are the Baxterville , Bowie , Dothan , Malbis , Notcher , Otanya , Rogan , and Tifton series in the same family and the Boykin and Sunsweet series. Baxterville soils have Bt horizons that are 5YR and redder. Bowie soils are on Eocene age landscapes of the upper coastal plains. Boykin soils have loamy fine sand surface layers 20 to 40 inches thick. Dothan and Tifton soils have less than 20 percent silt in the control section.
