Content of coarse fragments, usually chert, ranges from 0 to 20 percent in the B and C horizons. These soils are very strongly to slightly acid in the A horizons, very strongly to medium acid in the B horizons, and strongly to slightly acid in the C horizons. The A horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 2 through 5, and chroma of 2 through 4. Texture is silt loam or fine sandy loam. The B1 horizon has hue of 5YR through 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 4 or 6.
Texture is loam, silt loam, sandy clay loam, or clay loam.
The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR through 5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 4 through 8. Some pedons have high chroma mottles in the lower part of the Bt horizon. The Bt horizon is clay loam, silty clay loam, or loam. A B3 horizon is in some pedons. It is similar to the Bt horizon except it is silty clay or clay in texture.
