Texture and structure are similar to the A horizon. The B horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 4. Chroma of 3 or 4 is limited to subhorizons and chroma of 1 or 2 is in some subhorizon within a depth of 20 inches. The horizon has distinct or prominent redoximorphic features. Fine-earth texture is sandy loam or fine sandy loam with more than 50 percent fine or coarser sand.
Structure is weak granular or weak subangular blocky, or the horizon is massive.
Consistence is friable or very friable. The BC horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. The horizon has distinct or prominent redoximorphic features. Texture is similar to the B horizon. Structure is weak subangular blocky or the horizon is massive.
