Reaction is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline, and contains free carbonates in most pedons. Some pedons have a 2C horizon that has hue of 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. Texture is sandy loam, loamy sand, sand or the gravelly analogs of these textures. The sand fraction of individual strata or subhorizons are well graded. The rock content averages less than 15 percent, but individual horizons can range up to 34 percent.
Reaction ranges from slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline.
The 3C horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. Texture is loam sandy loam, or fine sandy loam. Some pedons have pockets of sand. It has from 1 to 10 percent gravel. Reaction ranges from slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline, and contains free carbonates.
