Mineralogy of the soil is mixed. Thickness of the solum ranges from 13 to 20 inches. These soils are usually dry in some subhorizon during the months of May and June, and October through November, but are not dry in all horizons between 7 and 20 inches for as long as 60 consecutive days in most years. Values are 4 and 5 dry and 2 and 3 moist with chromas of 2 and 3. Texture of the A horizon is sandy loam, loam and gravelly sandy loam in places.
Structure ranges from weak to moderate granular.
Hues of the B2t horizon are 7.5YR and 10YR with values of 3 through 5 dry and 2 and 3 moist with chromas of 2 and 3. Texture of the B horizon is clay loam, gravelly sandy clay loam and sandy clay loam, with more than 18 percent but less than 35 percent clay. The Cca horizons may overlie gravelly alluvium or unrelated lakebed deposits. These include the Ascalon , Balon , Capulin , Carnero , Partri , Poley , Wages and Wolf series. The Ascalon and Wages soils have 2.5Y through 7.5YR hues and lack a calcic horizon.
