Rock fragments are dominantly sandstone and shale of local origin with minor amounts of crystalline and limestone rocks. The particle-size control section averages between 26 and 35 percent clay. Undisturbed pedons have an A horizon 2 to 4 inches thick that has value of 3 and chroma of 1 or 2. Texture is silt loam. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 10 percent.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral.
Some pedons have an E horizon 2 to 8 inches thick that has hue of 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 10 percent. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid. The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 to 6. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 10 percent in the upper part and from 2 to 15 percent in the lower part.
