Iron depletions that have chroma of 2 or less are at depths of 4 to 6 feet. The BC horizon, where present, has hue of 5YR to 2.5Y, value of 4 to 7, and chroma of 1 to 8 or it is mottled with these colors. Texture is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, clay loam, sandy clay or clay. In some pedons, this horizon contains firm, brittle, strong brown to or nodules of plinthite, but no horizon within 60 inches of the surface has as much as 5 percent plinthite. The C horizon, where present, has hue of 2.5YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 8, and chroma of 1 to 8 or is mottled with these colors.
Texture is commonly sandy but it ranges to clay in some pedons.
These are the Orangeburg series in the same family and the Addielou , Allen , Avilla , Bama , Bonneau , Etowah , Holston , Leesburg , Minvale , Nella , Noboco , Octavia , Pikeville , Ruston , and Smithdale series in closely related families. Bonneau and Addielou soils are in an arenic subgroup. Allen, Bama, Etowah, Nella, Orangeburg and Ruston soils have all or some part of the Bt horizon in hue of 5YR or redder. Avilla, Holston, Leesburg, Minvale, and Pikeville soils have coarse fragments that exceed 10 percent in all or some part of the solum. Noboco soils have low chroma mottles associated with wetness at depths of 30 to 48 inches.
