The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5 and chroma of 2 to 4. Texture is silt loam. Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid in non-limed areas, and ranges to neutral in limed areas. The BE and Bt horizons have hue of 10YR, value of 5 to 7 and chroma of 1 to 6, and has redox depletions. Texture is silt loam or silty clay loam, and averages 20 to 32 percent clay and 4 to 10 percent sand.
Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid.
The 2Bt and 2Btx horizons have hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 5 to 7 and chroma of 4 to 8, and has redox depletions. Texture is silt loam or silty clay loam, and averages 24 to 32 percent clay and 8 to 15 percent sand. Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid. The 3Btb horizon has hue 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 5 to 7 and chroma of 4 to 8 and has redox depletions. Texture is silty clay, clay, or their gravelly and very gravelly analogues.
