Silt content of the control section is 20 to 50 percent. Percent by volume of brittleness ranges from 60 to 90 percent. Percent by volume of plinthite ranges from 5 to 30 percent. Texture is loam, sandy clay loam, or clay loam. The B3 horizon has the same hue, value, and chroma as the Bx horizon.
Texture is clay loam, sandy clay loam, or sandy clay.
There are no other known series in the same family. Competing series in similar families are the Ardillia, Clarendon, Escambia, Robertsdale, and Saucier series. Ardillia soils have brittleness in less than 60 percent by volume of the lower B horizon. Other competing soils do not have fragipans. In addition, Escambia soils have less than 18 percent clay in the upper 20 inches of the control section.
