The particle size control section averages 7 to 18 percent clay. Content of coarse fragments ranges from 0 to 35 percent in the solum and 0 to 60 percent in the C horizon. Reaction is moderately acid to neutral in the solum and slightly acid to moderately alkaline in the C horizon. Depth to carbonates ranges from 30 to 60 inches or more. A and Ap horizons have hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 2 or 3, chroma of 0 to 2.
Texture is fine sandy loam, very fine sandy loam, loam, or silt loam and their mucky analogues.
Structure is weak, fine or moderate, granular or very weak fine subangular blocky, and consistence is very friable or friable when moist. E horizons, when present, have hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 0 or 1. Structure is platy, prismatic, or subangular blocky and consistence is friable or firm when moist and hard when dry. The B horizons have hue of 10YR to 5Y and 5BG, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 0 to 8. Matrix colors have chroma of 2 or less due to iron depletion.
