The fine-earth fraction is much like the horizon above but has massive or platy bedrock controlled structure. Some pedons have a Cr horizon beginning at depths of less than 20 inches. Some of the fragments are coated with silt films. The R consists of shale, siltstone, fine-grained sandstone, or alternate beds of such material. The bedrock is sometimes fractured.
