Thickness of the silty mantle ranges from 15 to 36 inches. Rock fragments, mainly channers, flagstones, and gravel, range from 0 to 10 percent in the silty mantle, and from 10 to 40 percent below in the 2Bx and 2Cd horizons. The Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 3 through 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. Texture is very fine sandy loam, loam, or silt loam. Structure is weak or moderate, fine or medium granular and consistence is very friable or friable.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid, unless limed.
Some unplowed pedons have an A horizon underlain with thin E and Bs horizons. The Bw horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 3 through 6. Texture is very fine sandy loam or silt loam. Structure is granular or subangular blocky, and consistence is very friable or friable. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid.
