Mineralogy is mixed. Texture of the control section is predominantly fine sandy loam or sandy loam containing up to 35 percent coarse fragments. Gravel usually predominates. Color of the A1 horizons include hues of 10YR or 7.5YR, values of 3 to 5 dry and 2 or 3 moist, and chromas of 1 to 3. Chromas of 1 occur only in the A11 horizons, while chromas of 3 occur in the lower A1 horizons.
Structure ranges from moderate or strong, very fine to medium granular.
Base saturation of the A1 horizon is less than 50 percent. Color of the B2 horizons include hues of 10YR or 7.5YR, values of 6 or 7 dry and 3 to 5 moist, and chromas of 2 to 4. They are massive, or range from weak, fine to coarse subangular blocky or granular. C horizons may occur in areas having bedrock below 30 inches. Bedrock consists primarily of basalt, andesite or basaltic tuffs.
