The A1 horizon has hue of 10YR through 5YR, values of 2 through 4 and chromas of 0 to 20. The A2 horizon has hue of 5YR through 10 YR with values of 5 or 6 and chroma of 1 or 2. It has weak platy structure in some pedons and has an irregular lower boundary in a few pedons. The Bh or Bir horizons have hues of 10YR through 2.5YR with values of 2 through 4 and chromas of 2 through 6. Consistence ranges to slightly sticky when wet due to high content of organic matter.
Structure ranges from weak granular to weak blocky.
The lower 1 to 3 inches of the Bh horizon is slightly brittle or intermittently very weakly cemented in some pedons. The B2 or B3 horizons have hues of 7.5YR through 10YR with values of 5 or 6 and chromas of 4 through 6. The C horizon has hues of 7.5YR or yellower with values of 5 through 7 and chromas of 2 through 6. Some parts of this horizon are stained with organic matter where material has moved down through old root channels. The Leetonia series is the only series currently known to be in this family.
