It is very fine sandy loam, silt loam, or silt. The horizon is commonly varved or stratified. Thin strata of very fine sand are in many pedons. Bernardston, Broadbrook, Montauk, Nantucket, Paxton, Pollux, and Wethersfield soils lack redoximorphic concentrations in the B horizon. No information is available at this time to differentiate the Mt. Zion series from Amostown.
Scituate soils have a sandy, dense till substratum.
The Cardigan , Chatfield , Lordstown , Steinsburg and Yalesville soils have bedrock within 40 inches. Brookfield , Charlton , Cheshire , Dutchess , Maymead , Newport , Riverhead , St. Albans , and Valois soils do not have redox concentrations in the B horizon. Maplecrest soils have hue of 5YR or redder in the B and C horizons. Amostown soils are on nearly level to gently sloping glaciofluvial or glaciolacustrine plains, deltas, or terraces. The soils formed in loamy glacial outwash underlain by lacustrine sediments.
