The sand fraction is poorly sorted, well graded. These soils do not have carbonates within a depth of 60 inches. Base saturation is greater than 60 percent at a depth of 50 inches below the top of the argillic horizon. The Ap horizon has value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 to 4. The Ap or A horizon typically is silt loam, but severely eroded pedons include silty clay loam.
Reaction ranges from moderately acid to neutral.
The E horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 or 4. It is silt loam. Reaction ranges from moderately acid to neutral. The BE horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 to 6. It is silt loam or silty clay loam.
