Reaction is strongly acid through slightly acid. The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR, 2.5Y, or 5Y value of 3 through 6 and 2 through 5 moist, with chroma of 0 through 2. The darker colors are in the upper part. It is typically silty clay or clay with between 40 and 55 percent clay. Shiny faces on peds are less distinct in the lower part of the B horizon.
Reaction is moderately acid through slightly alkaline.
The Bt horizon has few to common redoximorphic features. The BC horizon is intermediate in texture and color between the Bt and C horizons. These iron masses become larger and less bright with depth. Reaction is neutral through moderately alkaline. The C horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 through 7 and 4 through 6 moist, with chroma of 2 through 4.
