Textures are silt loam or silty clay loam. The 2Bt horizon has hue of 2.5YR, 5YR, 7.5YR, and 10YR, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of 3 to 6. Mottles are in shades of brown and gray. The textures are silty clay loam, silty clay, or clay. The 2C horizon has hue of 2.5YR, 5YR, 7.5YR, 10YR, and 2.5YR, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of 1 to 6.
Textures are silty clay loam, silty clay, or clay and their channery and very channery analogues.
These are the Eilertsen , Elk , Elkinsville , Parke , Pike , Stonehead , Vernonia , and Wellston series in the same family and Westmore series in related family. Eilertsen soils have dark colored surface layers and do not have the channery or shaly textures in the lower part of the solum. Elk, Elkinsville, Parke, and Pike soils contain less clay in the lower part of the argillic horizon and are not underlain by shale. Stonehead soils have more clay and fragments in the lower part of the profile, and the permeability is slow or very slow in the lower part. Vernonia soils dry for less than 45 consecutive days.
