Clay content ranges from 18 to 35 percent. Reaction ranges from moderately acid to neutral. Some pedons have a BC or BCg horizon. The C horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 6. It is stratified silt loam, fine sand, loamy fine sand, very fine sand, very fine sandy loam, and fine sandy loam.
Reaction is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline.
Some pedons have Ck horizons that are thinly stratified with colors and textures similar to those of the C horizon. The Ashtabula, Bogart, Centerburg, Conowingo, Haney, Jenera, Mount Lucas, Thackery, and Vanlue soils have 1 percent or more rock fragments in the lower part of the series control section. The Cygnet, Houcktown, and Williamstown soils have a densic contact in the series control section. The Nicely series are more than 48 inches to the base of the argillic horizon. The Lehigh and Reaville soils have a lithic contact in the series control section.
