The Bt part has hue of 10YR to 5YR, value of 3 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8. The Bt part occurs as horizontal and wavy lamellae or thin bands typically less than 1 inch in thickness and spaced 2 to 10 inches apart. The lamellae are horizontally continuous or discontinuous, and commonly contain 3 to 5 percent more clay than the E portion of the horizon, but ranges to 10 percent more clay. Texture of the E and Bt horizon is loamy fine sand, fine sand, loamy sand, or sand. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 6 percent.
Reaction ranges from moderately acid to neutral.
The Cg or C horizon has hue of 10YR, 2.5Y, 5Y, or is neutral, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 0 to 3. It is fine sand or sand. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 2 percent. Reaction ranges from slightly acid to moderately alkaline. Algansee, Brems, Brockatonorton, Elnora, Fortress, Morocco, and Tedrow soils do not have lamellae with clay films or clay bridging in the series control section.
