Where the A horizons are less than 12 inches thick, the moist value is less than 3.5 to depths of more than 12 inches. Where chromas of 1 occur between depths of 15 inches and 20 inches, the 1 chroma material will make up less than half of the pedon. Texture is silty clay loam, silty clay, or clay. Reaction is slightly acid to slightly alkaline. The Bw horizons have hue of 5YR to 10YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 2 to 4.
Texture is silty clay or clay.
Reaction ranges from slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline. Intersecting slickensides range from few to many. Some pedons have distinct or prominent mottles in shades of gray, red, or brown. Calcium carbonate concretions range from 1 to 15 percent by volume. Some pedons are calcareous.
