The Bt horizon has hue of 2.5YR to 7.5YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 4 to 6. Texture is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, or loam in the fine-earth fraction. Some pedons have a thin subhorizon of sandy clay loam. The structure is weak or moderate, fine or medium subangular blocky or granular. The C and 2C horizons have hue of 2.5YR to 7.5YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 3 to 6.
Texture ranges from sandy loam to sand in the fine-earth fraction.
The C horizons are commonly stratified. The Brentsville , Lansdale and Rigley series are in the same family. The Chavies , Downer , Highfield , Lewisberry , Tunkhannock , and Woodmansie series are in related families. Chavies soils do not have igneous rocks as a component of the rock fragments. Downer and Woodmansie soils have siliceous mineralogy.
