Thickness of the solum ranges from 20 to 40 inches. The weighted average content of silt plus clay is 5 percent or less in the particle-size control section but is more than 5 percent in the upper 10 to 20 inches of the series control section. The sand fraction is more than 90 percent quartz or other non-weatherable minerals. Volume of sandstone channers and chert fragments ranges from 0 to 15 percent throughout the pedon. Reaction typically ranges from extremely acid to moderately acid in the solum but ranges to neutral in the upper part where the soil is limed.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to slightly acid in the substratum.
The O horizon has hue of 10YR or is neutral in hue. Value is 2 or 3 and chroma is 1 or 2. The O horizon is a mat of moderately decomposed plant material. The A horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 2 or 3 and chroma of 1 to 3. It is sand or fine sand.
