The dominant matrix color in the lower 2Bt horizon to 60 inches has hue of 7.5YR or redder and chroma of 6 or 8. There are no other series in this family. Similar series include the Clarksville , Doniphan , Gepp , Noark , Poynor , and Rueter soils. Clarksville and Rueter soils are loamy-skeletal. Doniphan and Gepp soils are clayey.
Poynor soils are loamy-skeletal over clayey.
Noark soils have base saturation of less than 35 percent at the critical depth. Goss soils are on uplands and formed in colluvium and the underyling residuum weathered from cherty limestone or cherty dolomite and some interbedded shale. Slope ranges from 1 to 70 percent. The mean annual temperature ranges from 47 to 57 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation ranges from 32 to 44 inches. These are the Gasconade , Gatewood , Peridge and Wilderness soils in the southern part of the series extent and Keswick and Lindley soils in the northern part.
