Range in Characteristics: Depth to uniformly calcareous material normal-

upper 3 inches of the C horizon if the solum is thicker than 40 inches.
Thickness of the mollic epipedon and depth to the base of the argillic

has few faint mottles with chroma of more than 2 in both matrix and
. mottling. Rock fragments range from 0 to 15 percent by volume in a major
