Reaction is moderately acid to neutral. In wooded areas the A horizon is 2 to 4 inches thick and has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 3, and chroma of 1 or 2. Some pedons have an E horizon with hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. Reactions and textures are similar to the A horizon, except in some pedons reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid. The BA or BE horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 or 4.
Texture is silt loam, loam, clay loam, silty clay loam or their gravelly analogues.
Reaction is moderately acid to neutral except for thin subhorizons that range to very strongly acid. Reaction is neutral or slightly alkaline, and most pedons contain free carbonates. The C horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 4. Texture is stratified gravelly coarse sandy loam to extremely gravelly coarse sand or loamy sand with strata of sand or loamy sand in some pedons. The gravel is more than 60 percent limestone, and the fine earth has a calcium carbonate equivalent of more than 40 percent.
