In more than half of each pedon the A horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 3 to 5 and chroma of 2 or 3 to a depth of at least 12 inches. Texture is clay or silty clay. The amplitude of waviness between the A and the Bss horizon is 5 to 18 inches. The Bss horizon, or Bkss horizon where present, have hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6 and chroma of 2 to 4. Low chroma colors are lithochromic and not due to wetness.
Texture is predominantly clay, but some pedons are silty clay.
Redox concentrations in shades of brown, yellow, and olive range from none to common. Concretions and masses of calcium carbonates range from none to common. The Bssy horizon, or Bkssy horizon where present, have colors in shades of brown, gray, yellow and olive. Texture is clay or silty clay. Crystals and masses of gypsum range from 2 to 25 percent.
