The A2 horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. The B1 horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 or 4. It is silt loam or silty clay loam. It is silty clay loam. The content of fine and coarser sand commonly is less than 5 percent but ranges to 10 or 15 percent by volume just about the IIB horizon in some pedons.
Structure commonly is moderate or strong, fine through coarse, subangular or angular blocky.
The IIB horizon has hue of 7.5YR, 5YR, or 2. 5YR, value and chroma of 4 through 6. Hue of 5YR or redder is present on faces of peds or in the matrix in at least one subhorizon. It ranges from silty clay loam with moderate content of sand to clay loam or sandy clay loam. The clay content decreases by more than 20 percent of the maximum within a depth of 60 inches below the soil surface in most pedons, especially in those that have chroma greater than 4.
