The amplitude of waviness between mollic colored matrix in the upper part of the solum and the higher value colors in the lower part ranges from 30 to 60 inches. Cracks remain open for 60 to 90 cumulative days in most years. Slickensides begin at a depth of 10 to 20 inches and extend throughout the solum. The angle of the slickenside ranges from about 10 to 65 degrees from horizontal and tend to be more vertical in microknolls than in microdepressions. The A horizon has colors with hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or less.
Reaction ranges from moderately acid to slightly alkaline.
The upper part of the Bss horizon has colors with hue 10YR to 5Y, value 3 to 5 and chroma of 1. Pitted concretions of calcium carbonate range from none to few. Reaction ranges from slightly acid to slightly alkaline. The lower part of the Bss horizon has colors with hue 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6 and chroma of 1. Redox concentrations in shades of red, brown, or yellow range from none to common.
