Texture is clay, silty clay, silty clay loam in the upper part and ranges to silt loam in the lower part. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral. In some pedons, a 2Bt horizon may be present at depths greater than 60 inches. It has hue of 5YR or 2.5YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 3 through 6. Iron accumulations and depletions are in shades of brown and gray.
Texture ranges from silt loam to clay.
Reaction ranges from moderately acid to moderately alkaline. These are Alusa , Crowley , Kemah , Leaksville , and Meikle series in the same family and Cherokee and Meggett series in closely related families. Alusa soils have A and E horizons less than 12 inches thick and generally contains more sand throughout. Crowley soils have higher soil temperatures and are somewhat poorly drained. Kemah soils contain more sand throughout the solum and are somewhat poorly drained.
