Official Series Description
It ranges from silty clay loam to clay. The 2C horizons have hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 or 5 and chroma of 1 with higher chroma mottles. Textures are commonly silty clay or clay below 48 inches. Silty clay loam with clay content greater than 35 percent is within the range. COMPETING SERIES: There are no other series in this family.
