Gravel-sized ironstone fragments make up from 1 to 40 percent of the volume of the A horizon and from 0 to 15 percent of the Bt, BC, and C horizons. A few coarse fragments of ironstone 3 to 20 inches across are in the A, Bt, and BC horizons of most pedons. The particle size control section is 35 to 60 percent clay. The A horizon has hue of 10YR, 7.5YR, or 5YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 2 to 6. It is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, or their gravelly counterparts.
Reaction is strongly acid or moderately acid, except where limed.
The E horizon, where present, has hue of 7.5YR or 5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 4 to 6. It is loamy fine sand, sandy loam, or fine sandy loam. Reaction is strongly acid or moderately acid. The Bt horizon has hue of 5YR, 2.5YR, or 10R, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 6 or 8. It is clay, sandy clay loam, sandy clay, clay loam, or loam.
