Silt content in the control section is less than 30 percent. The BCg horizon, present in most pedons, has hue of 10YR to 5Y, or is neutral, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of 0 to 2, commonly with iron depletions in shades of olive, and masses of iron accumulation in shades of yellow, brown, or red. It dominantly is sandy loam or sandy clay loam but ranges to clay loam or sandy clay. Some pedons have strata or pockets of contrasting materials. The Cg horizon has the same colors given for the BCg horizon, or it is a combination of iron depletions and accumulations in shades of gray, yellow, brown, or red.
Texture is variable, ranging from sandy to clayey materials.
Some pedons are stratified and some pedons have pockets of contrasting materials. There are no other known series in this family. Abell , Altavista , Augusta , Bertie , Eunola , Goldsboro , Lynchburg , Ogeechee , Rains , Summerfield , Tetotum , and Yauhannah series are similar soils in other families. Abell, Altavista, Augusta, Bertie, Summerfield, and Tetotum soils have mixed mineralogy. Eunola, Goldsboro, and Yauhannah soils are better drained and have a matrix of higher chroma in the control section.
