Thickness of solum and depth to bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Rock fragments are dominantly flat angular fragments and flagstones and occupy 10 to 35 percent of the volume in the Ap horizon and 20 to 60 percent in the B and C horizons, but the wieghted average for the control section is less than 35 percent. Reaction is very strongly acid through neutral in the surface layer, very strongly acid through moderately acid in the subsoil and strongly acid or moderately acid in the substratum. The Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 2.5Y, value of 3 through 5, and chroma of 2 through 4. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is loam or silt loam.
Structure is weak or moderate fine granular.
Consistence is friable or very friable. Some pedons have thin black A horizons and reddish Bhs horizons where unplowed. The Bw horizon has hue of 7.5YR through 2.5Y, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 3 through 6. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is loam or silt loam. Structure is weak or moderate, very fine to medium subangular blocky or granular.
