The E horizon is massive, or has weak fine subangular blocky, or thin or medium platy structure. Consistence is friable or very friable. Some pedons have a BE or BA horizon with colors and textures similar to the A, E, and B horizons. The Bt horizon has hue of 5YR through 2.5Y, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 through 4 with faint to prominent redoximorphic features. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is silt loam, very fine sandy loam, or silty clay loam with thin subhorizons of finer or coarser textures in many pedons.
Structure is subangular or angular blocky with patchy clay skins on faces of peds.
Some pedons have coarse or very coarse prismatic, and thick platy structure. Consistence is friable or firm. Reaction ranges from moderately acid through slightly alkaline. Some pedons have a BC horizon up to 12 inches thick with colors and texture similar to the B horizon. The C horizon has hue of 5YR through 5Y or is neutral, and has value of 3 through 6, and chroma of 0 through 6.
