Uthclal Jenes llescnpnon - JtitiV(iLr. Jenes <br />or shale channers range from 0 to 15 percent. <br />A Bw or AC horizon, when present, has the combined properties of the A and C horizons. <br />rage z or ~ <br />The C horizon has hue of SY through 7.SYR, value of 4 through 7 dry, 3 through 6 moist, and chroma of <br />I through 6. It is loam, silt loam, clay loam or silty clay loam. Rock fragments or shale channers range <br />from 0 to 35 percent. Reaction is slightly alkaline through strongly alkaline. <br />COMPETING SERIES: These are the Canyon, Dulce (T), Enoine, Eslendo, Gerst, uarteles (T), <br />Redarrow, Remoras, Sandoval, Taluce, and Tassel series. Canyon soils are somewhat excessively <br />drained. Dulce, Tassel, and Taluce soils have less than 18 percent clay in the particle size control <br />section. Epping soils have siltstone chips in the control section and contain a significant amount of glass <br />shards. Eslendo, Quarteles and Sandoval soils are dry in Mav and June. Gerst soils have 15 to 35 percent <br />coarse fragments throughout. Redarrow and Remorris soils have hue of SYR or redder. <br />GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: The Shingle soils occur on all hillslope positions. Slopes are 0 to 80 <br />percent. These soils formed in colluvium and residuum weathered from soft, interbedded sandstone and <br />shale or in alluvium from mudstone. Elevation is 3,200 to 6,500 feet. The mean annual precipitation is <br />about 10 to 14 inches, most of which falls in April, May, and June. The mean annual temperature is <br />about 45 degrees F.but ranges from 43 to 51 degrees F. The frost-free season is about 105 to 130 days. <br />GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Kishona and Theedle soils. Kishona <br />soils lack bedrock above a depth of 40 inches. Theedle soils have a paralithic contact at a depth of 20 to <br />40 inches. These soils usually occur on footslopes or toeslopes. <br />DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; medium or high runoff depending upon slope; <br />moderate permeability. <br />USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used for rangeland and wildlife habitat. Native vegetation <br />consists of bluebunch wheatgrass, needleandthread, western wheatgrass, and blue grama. <br />DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Basins and high plains of Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, <br />and Wyoming. The series is extensive. <br />MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Bozeman, Montana <br />SERIES ESTABLISHED: Johnson County, Wyoming, South Part; 1971. <br />REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: <br />Ochric epipedon - 0 to 4 inches (A) <br />Paralithic contact - 15 inches (Cr) <br />MLRR-G <br />S1R - WY009Q WY0678, WY0953, WY1284, WY1284 <br />National Cooperative Soil Survey <br />U.S.A. <br />http://ortho.ftw.nres.usda.gov/cgi-bin/osd/osdname. cgi?-P 4/29/2004 <br />
