PSD-MCS-JAL <br />04/2002 <br />WY+CO MT NE NM SD UT <br />SHINGLE SERIES <br />rage r or ~ <br />The Shingle series consists of well drained soils that are shallow to bedrock. They formed in residuum <br />and colluvium derived from interbedded shale and sandstone or in alluvium from mudstone. Shingle <br />soils are on bedrock controlled hillslopes and ridges. Slopes are 0 to 80 percent. The mean annual <br />precipitation is about 13 inches, and the mean annual temperature is 45 degrees F. <br />TAXONONIIC CLASS: Loamy, mixed, superactive, calcareous, mesic, shallow Ustic Torriorthents <br />TYPICAL PEDON: Shingle clay loam-rangeland. (Colors are for dry soil unless otherwise stated.) <br />A--O to 4 inches; light brownish gray (lOYR 6/2) clay loam, dark grayish brown (lOYR 4/2) moist; <br />moderate very fine granular structure; soft, very friable, moderately sticky and moderately plastic; <br />slightly effervescent, calcium carbonate disseminated; moderately alkaline (pH 8.0); cleaz smooth <br />boundary. (1 to 6 inches thick) <br />Bw--4 to 8 inches; light yellowish brown (2.SY 6!3) clay loam, light olive brown (2.SY 5/3) moist; weak <br />medium subangulaz blocky structure; hard, friable, moderately sticky and moderately plastic; slightly <br />effervescent, calcium carbonate disseminated; moderately alkaline (pH 8.2); gradual smooth boundary. <br />(0 to 5 inches thick) <br />C-8 to 15 inches; light yellowish brown (2.SY 6/3) clay loam, light olive brown (2.SY 5/3) moist; <br />massive; hard, variable, moderately sticky and moderately plastic; slightly effervescent, lime <br />disseminated; moderately alkaline (pH 8.2); clear wavy boundary. (4 to 15 inches thick) <br />Cr--IS to 60 inches; soft, calcareous shale interbedded with lenses of soft sandstone.. <br />TYPE LOCATION: Goshen County, Wyoming; neaz the NW corner of SEI/4, NEl/4 of sec. 14, T. 22 <br />N., R. 61 W. Huntley Quadrangle. 41 degrees 52 minutes 55 seconds north latitude and ] 04 degrees 9 <br />minutes 15 seconds west longitude. <br />RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to soft bedrock and paralithic contact ranges from 4 to 20 <br />inches. The mean annual soil temperature is 47 to 53 degrees F. The soils commonly are calcareous <br />throughout, but some pedons are leached to 6 inches. The particle size control section averages 20 to 35 <br />percent clay and has more than IS percent but less than 35 percent fine or coarser sand. The soil is <br />usually dry. The moisture control section is usually moist in April, May and early June. It is dry for 60 <br />consecutive days or more during the 90 day period following the summer solstice. EC is 0 to 2 mmhos <br />throughout. <br />The .A horizon has hue of SY through 7.SYR, value of 5 through 7 dry, 3 through 6 moist, and chroma of <br />] through 6. Reaction is slightly through strongly alkaline. Some pedons have a light gravel lag on the <br />surface. Texture is loam, silt loam, clay loam, silty clay loam, and gravelly clay loam.
