Structure is granular or subangular blocky, and consistence is very friable or friable. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid. The E horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 2 or 3, with or without faint or distinct redoximorphic features. Texture is very fine sandy loam, loam, or silty loam. It is massive, or it has platy or subangular blocky structure, and consistence is friable or firm.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid.
Some pedons have a thin Bx horizon just above the 2Bx horizon, with hue of 7.5YR through 5Y, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 2 through 4, with or without faint or distinct redoximorphic features. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is silt loam or loam, and contains 10 to 27 percent clay. Primary structure is moderate or strong prismatic, and consistence is firm or very firm, and brittle. Reaction ranges from strongly acid to neutral. The 2Bx horizon has hue of 5YR through 5Y, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 through 4, with few or common redoximorphic features.
