Solum thickness ranges from 17 to 34 inches. Depth to bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Rock fragment content, by volume, ranges from 2 to 30 percent in the A horizon, from 5 to 50 percent in individual horizons of the B, and from 30 to 90 percent in the C horizon, the control section average is less than 35 percent. The soil, where unlimed, ranges from extremely through strongly acid in the upper part of the solum, is strongly acid or moderately acid in the lower part of the solum, and ranges from strongly acid through slightly acid in the C horizon. The Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 10R, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 2 through 4.
Texture is silt loam or loam in the fine-earth fraction.
The B horizon has hue of 10R through 5YR, value of 3 through 6, and chroma of 2 through 6. Texture is silt loam, loam or silty clay loam in the fine-earth fraction. The C horizon has hue of 10R through 5YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 2 through 4. Texture is silt loam, loam, or sandy loam in the fine earth-fraction. All of these soils except Cateache, Culleoka, Frondorf, Loudonville, Oatlands, Ryder and Spriggs are more than 40 inches from the soil surface to bedrock.
