Rock fragments are commonly fine gravel but range to stone size. Surface stones and boulders are generally absent but range up to 3 percent of the surface of some pedons. The soil ranges from extremely acid through moderately acid except where it is limed. The A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 2 through 4, and chroma of 0 through 2. It is structureless or has weak medium granular structure and is very friable or loose.
Texture ranges from loamy sand through coarse sand in the fine-earth fraction.
The E horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 3 through 7, and chroma of 0 through 3. Texture, structure and consistence have the same range as the A horizon. The Bw and BC horizons have hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 through 6, and chroma of 4 through 8. To a depth of 10 inches the Bw horizon texture is loamy sand through coarse sand in the fine-earth fraction. Below 10 inches the texture is loamy coarse sand or coarse sand in the fine- earth fraction.
