Some pedons have secondary carbonate accumulations, although most of these subhorizons have lower calcium carbonate equivalent than the parent material. The calcium carbonate equivalent is 0 to 30 percent. Sand content averages 35 to 60 percent. Very fine sand content averages more than 10 percent. Silt content averages 35 to 45 percent.
Texture is loam or sandy loam.
Hue is 5YR or 7.5YR, value is 4 to 6, and chroma is 3 to 6. Some pedons have redoximorphic features. Many pedons have secondary carbonate accumulations in the upper part. The calcium carbonate equivalent is 25 to 40 percent. Beech and Richland soils have greater than 15 percent rock fragments in the lower one-half of the series control section.
