Primary structure of subangular blocky, angular blocky, platy, or prismatic is inherited from the parent material. Carbonates are present in most pedons. Rock fragments range from 2 to 35 percent, and include up to 5 percent greater than 3 inches in diameter. Reaction ranges from neutral to moderately alkaline. The C horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 1 to 4.
Texture is silt loam, loam, silty clay loam or clay loam in the fine earth fraction.
Consistence is firm or very firm. Rock fragments range from 10 to 60 percent, and include 5 to 10 percent greater than 3 inches in diameter. In some pedons, rock fragments are absent below 40 inches. Reaction ranges from slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline. Some pedons lack carbonates in the upper part of the C horizon.
