The surface tier has hue of 10YR, 7.5YR or neutral, value of 2 or 3 and chroma of 0 to 2. The herbaceous organic part of the subsurface and bottom tiers has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR or is neutral in hue. Value is 2 or 3 and chroma is 0 to 3. The Lco horizon has hue of 10YR, 2.5Y, or 5Y, value of 2 to 5 and chroma of 1 to 3. It is coprogenous material.
Reaction ranges from neutral to moderately alkaline and carbonates are present in some pedons.
The Lco horizon has slightly plastic consistence and shrinks upon drying to form hard clods that are difficult to re-wet. These are the Moston and Toto series. Moston soils have sand below the limnic layer within the 51 inche control section. Toto soils have marl and sand below the limnic layer within the 51 inch control section. The Muskego soils commonly are in depressional areas principally associated with glacial lake plains and flood plains, but other geographical locations are not excluded.
