The E or BE horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 4. It is commonly loam or very fine sandy loam, and less commonly silt loam. Reaction is strongly acid to extremely acid. The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, chroma of 4 to 6. It is commonly loam, fine sandy loam, very fine sandy loam or their channery analogues, and less commonly silt loam or channery silt loam.
Reaction is strongly acid to extremely acid.
The Cr horizon is dominantly weakly cemented and moderately cemented sandstone interbedded with siltstone, shale, and strongly or more cemented sandstone layers. Dunellen, Greenwich, Swedesboro and Unicorn soils do not have a lithic or paralithic contact in the series control section. Lansdale and Rigley soils are more than 40 inches to a lithic or a paralithic contact. Germano soils average less than 25 percent very fine sand in the upper part of the series control section. Adyeville soils are on back slopes of hills underlain with interbedded sandstone, siltstone, and shale.
