Thickness of the solum and depth to carbonates typically is 25 to 55 inches, but ranges to 72 inches. Depth to the base of the ochric epipedon ranges from 6 to 12 inches. Rock fragments are dominantly sandstone and shale of local origin with minor amounts of crystalline and limestone rocks. The particle-size control section averages between 26 and 35 percent clay. Undisturbed pedons have an A horizon 2 to 4 inches thick that has value of 3 and chroma of 1 or 2.
Texture is silt loam.
Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 10 percent. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral. Some pedons have an E horizon 2 to 8 inches thick that has hue of 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 10 percent. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid.
