Subhorizons in some pedons contain up to 20 percent rock fragments. Reaction ranges from slightly acid through slightly alkaline in the A horizon and is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline in the C horizons. Some pedons have O horizons less than 6 inches thick. The Ap or A horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 0 through 2. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is silt loam, loam, or silty clay loam, with or without mucky analogues.
Structure is moderate or strong, fine to coarse granular.
Consistence is very friable or friable. The Cg horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 3 through 5, and chroma of 1 or 2, with distinct or prominent redoximorphic features. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is loam, silt loam, or silty clay loam. The horizon is massive, or structure is weak to strong, fine to coarse granular. Consistence is very friable through firm.
