The average silt content in the horizons formed in till is less than 50 percent. The mollic epipedon is 10 to 18 inches thick. The particle-size control section ranges from 27 to 35 percent clay and less than 15 percent fine sand or coarser. It is typically silt loam. Severely eroded pedons are silty clay loam.
Reaction ranges from moderately acid to neutral.
