Unless limed, the reaction ranges from strongly acid to extremely acid. The A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 6, and chroma of 2 to 4. It is loam, silt loam, or fine sandy loam, and the gravelly analogues. The Bt horizon has hue of 2.5Y to 5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 to 8. It is silt loam, loam, clay loam, or sandy clay loam, and the gravelly analogues.
Mottles are in shades of gray, brown, and red.
Some pedons have BC horizons with colors like the Bt horizon, and others have lower Bt or BC horizons that are mottled or with matrix colors in shades of gray. A few pedons have 2B horizons in the lower solum or 2C horizons. The C horizon has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 4 through 8, and chroma of 0 through 8, or mottled in these colors without dominant matrix hue. The texture is silt loam, loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, and the gravelly analogues. Some pedons are stratified.
