The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is sandy loam or loam. Some pedons have redoximorphic features that include shades of brown and yellow, and shades of gray in the lower part. Some pedons have 2B horizons below 40 inches formed in residuum from shale with matrix and redoximorphic features with colors in shades of red, brown or gray. The C horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8.
Texture is sandy loam, loam, sandy clay loam or clay loam in the fine-earth fraction.
Some pedons have a 2C horizon. The Germano series is currently the only competitor. The Germano soils are formed in residuum and are less than 40 inches to bedrock. The Dunellen , Lansdale , and Philomont series are potential competitors, because a CEC class has yet to be assigned. The Lansdale soils are formed in residuum and are less than 40 inches to bedrock.
