SEDILLO SERIES
The Sedillo series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately slowly permeable soils that formed in
gravelly alluvium. Sedillo soils are on bajadas, piedmonts, fan terraces and stream terraces. Slopes are 0
to 60 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 11 inches and the mean annual temperature is
about 52 degrees F.
TAXONOIti~C CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mined, superactive, mesic Ustic Calciargids
TYPICAL PEDON: Sedillo very gravelly loam--rangeland. (Colors are for dry soil unless otherwise
noted.)

subangular blocky and weak fine granular structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky and
nonplastic; many very fine roots; common very fine interstitial pores; 40 percent pebbles; moderately
alkaline; clear smooth boundary. t2 to 5 inches thick}
