Dixfield and Onota soils have a udic moisture regime and have less than 10 percent weathered sandstone in the particle-size control section. Michigamme, Rawsonville and Tunbridge soils have a lithic contact at 20 to 40 inches. Revel soils are on mountain backslopes, ridges, and plateaus at elevations of l,200 to 2,200 feet. Slopes are 5 to 60 percent. The soils formed in volcanic ash and colluvium and slope alluvium from sandstone, siltstone, and glacial till.
Revel soils are in a marine climate.
