Texture is clay loam, clay, silty clay, or silty clay loam. Clay content ranges from 27 to 42 percent. Rock fragment content ranges from 1 to 7 percent. Reaction is neutral or slightly alkaline in the 2Bt horizon and slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline in the 2BC horizon. The 2Cd horizon has colors, textures, and rock fragment content similar to the 2BC horizon.
Reaction is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline and contains carbonates.
Calcium carbonate equivalent ranges from 15 to 30 percent. These are the Blakeslee , El Dara , Funkstown , Kidami , Miami , Moon , Octagon , Pevely , Rainsville , Rawson , Shawtown , and Wapahani series. All of these soils have hue yellower than 5YR in the upper part of the series control section. Competing series may change as they are updated to the 8th Edition of Keys to Soil Taxonomy. The Beech , Cadmus , Glenhall , Richland , and Summitville series have not been updated to the 8th Edition of Keys to Soil Taxonomy, but were competing series to Vaughnsville under previous taxonomic classification.
