Individual subhorizons can have as little as 30 percent clay. The series control section averages less than 8 percent sand and less than 1 percent rock fragments. The E horizon has value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 or 2. Reaction is strongly acid to neutral. Redoximorphic iron depletions and concentrations have hue of 7.5YR, 10YR, or 2.5Y, value of 2 to 6 and chroma of 1 to 8.
Texture is silty clay loam, silty clay, or silt loam.
Reaction is strongly acid to neutral in the upper part and slightly acid to moderately alkaline in the lower part. Redoximorphic iron depletions and concentrations have hue of 7.5YR, 10YR, or 2.5Y, value of 2 to 6 and chroma of 1 to 8. Average clay content ranges from 18 to 27 percent. Reaction is slightly acid to moderately alkaline. These are the Bevier , Lerdal , and Mexico soils.
