Order I Sail Survey, New Horizon Mine
<br />RANGE IM CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to soft sandstone ranges from 20 to 40
<br />inches. Depth to continuous carbonate accumulation ranges from 10 to 35 inches,
<br />and depth to the base of the argillic horizon ranges from 10 to 35 inches. Coarse
<br />fragments range from 0 to 15 percent and are soft sandstone channers or
<br />semir+ounded pebbles. The soil is dry in the moisture control section more than half
<br />the time cumulative that the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees
<br />F. and is never moist in some or all parts for as long as 60 consecutive days when
<br />the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees F., which occurs about
<br />April 21-27, but is dry in all parts of the moisture control section for at least 60
<br />consecutive days from July 15 to October 25 and for at least 90 cumulative days
<br />during this period. The mean annual soil temperature is 47 to 53 degrees F., and
<br />the soil temperature at a depth of 20 inches is 41 degrees F. or more for 175 to 1 q2
<br />days. EC ranges from 0 to 2 rnmhos throughout the profile.
<br />The A horizon has hue of 2.5Y through 7.5YR, value of 4 through 6 dry, 3 through 5
<br />moist, and chroma of 2 through 4. Textures are typically sandy loam but may be
<br />sandy clay loam, tine sandy loam, very fine sandy loam, or loam. Reaction is
<br />typically neutral or nniildly alkaline but ranges to moderately alkaline in some pedons.
<br />The Eft horizons has hue of 2.5Y through 7.5YR value of 4 through 6 dry, 3 through 5
<br />moist, and chroma of 2 through 4. In pedons where mollic colors are present in this
<br />horizon, the layer is too thin to meet the requirements for a mollic epipedon. Texture
<br />is sandy clay loam with more than 35 percent fine sand or coarser. Clay ranges
<br />from 20 to 35 percent. Reaction is typically mildly alkaline but may range from
<br />neutral to moderately alkaline.
<br />The Bk horizon has hue of 2.5Y through 7.5YR, value of 5 through 7 dry, 4 through 6
<br />moist, and chroma of 2 through 5. Texture is typically sandy loam or sandy clay
<br />loam but may be fide sandy loam or very fine sandy loam. Carbonates range from 6
<br />to 14 percent. This 'horizon does nct meet the requirements of a diagnostic calcic.
<br />Discontinuous horizons with greater than 15 percent carbonates occur in some
<br />pedons. Reaction is moderately or strongly alkaline with less than 15 percent ESP.
<br />The Cr is a paralithic contact to calcareous, argillaceous sandstone. This material is
<br />weakly consolidated and does restrict the movement of water and, therefore, roots.
<br />Interbedded shales may be present in some areas and may form the contact,
