Derinda and Keltner soils are better drained, have browner or less gray colors in the B horizons, and are underlain by residuum weathered from shale. In addition, Derinda soils have E horizons. The moderately well drained Schapville soils and the somewhat poorly drained Shullsburg soils are in a drainage sequence with the Calamine soils and are the most common associates. Poorly drained and very poorly drained. Surface runoff is slow to very slow or ponded.
Permeability is moderate in the upper part of the solum and very slow in the lower part.
Marsh grasses, sedges, and water-tolerant plants are the native vegetation. Some of the soil has been drained and is used for cropland, but adequate drainage is difficult to maintain and only fair crop yields are obtained. The series is of small extent. Lafayette County, Wisconsin, 1964.
