Gravel ranges from 0 to 35 percent. Some pedons have C horizons with stratified layers of fine sandy loam, loam, clay loam, or silty clay. Some pedons have mottles in shades of gray. A lithologic discontinuity is evident in some pedons below 50 inches, but it is not a requirement of the series. These are the Eilertsen , Elkinsville, Parke , Pike , Rosine , Stonehead , Vernonia , and Wellston series in the same family and the Armour , Ashton , and Wheeling series in related families.
