Reaction commonly is very strongly acid or strongly acid, but ranges to moderately acid. Some pedons have BC horizons that range to slightly acid in the lower part. The C horizon has similar color range to the B horizon. Texture is clay loam, loam, sandy loam, or their channery or flaggy analogues. Rock fragment content ranges from 10 to 25 percent.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to slightly acid.
Some pedons have 2BC and 2C horizons derived from sandstone. Color and reaction range is similar to the BC and C horizons, respectively. Texture is channery, very channery, flaggy, or very flaggy analogues of clay loam, loam, or sandy loam. Rock fragment content ranges from 15 to 40 percent. In some pedons a few inches of fractured sandstone are above the lithic contact.
