Depth to the base of the argillic horizon is 42 to 70 inches. Depth to carbonates, where present, is greater than about 5 feet. The particle-size control section averages 27 to 35 percent clay. Sand content is less than 7 percent in all parts. Clay content is 18 to 27 percent.
Reaction is moderately acid to neutral, depending on the liming history.
The E horizon, where present, has value of 4 or 5 and chroma of 2 or 3. When the soil is dry, common gray to white clay depletions are easily discernible on faces of peds in the E and B horizons, but these features are not readily apparent when the soil is moist. Clay content is 18 to 27 percent. Reaction is strongly acid to neutral. Some pedons have an EB or a BE horizon.
