Solum thickness ranges from 36 to 60 inches. Depth to bedrock is 48 to 80 inches. Rock fragments of shale or sandstone range from 0 to 15 percent by volume in the A horizon, from 2 to 15 percent in the upper part of the B horizon, from 5 to 30 percent in the lower part of the B horizon, and from 5 to 50 percent in the C horizon. The soil, where unlimed, ranges from very strongly through moderately acid in the upper part of the solum and is strongly or moderately acid in the lower part and C horizon. The Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 2.5Y, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 4 through 6.
Texture is silt loam or silty clay loam in the fine-earth fraction.
Undisturbed pedons have thin dark A horizon. Some pedons have thin E horizons. The upper part of the B horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 2.5Y, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 4 through 6. Texture is silt loam or silty clay loam in the fine-earth fraction. The lower part of the B horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 5Y and N, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 2 through 4.
