The mollic epipedon ranges from 16 to 50 inches thick and includes the upper part of the argillic horizon in most pedons. The A horizon has hue of IOYR, 2.5Y, or N, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 2 or less. Texture is mostly clay loam, but ranges to loam. Reaction is medium acid or neutral. The Btg1 horizon has hue of 10YR, 2.SY, SY, or N, values of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or less. It is clay loam or clay and contains more than 35 percent clay. Reaction is medium acid or neutral. The lower Btg horizons have hue of 10R, 2.5Y, 5Y, or N, value of 2 to 5, and chroma of 2 or less. Mottles of yellow or brown range from none to common. It is clay, clay loam, or silty clay containing 35 to 60 percent clay. Reaction is slightly acid to moderately alkaline. A few concretions of calcium carbonate are below depths of 36 inches in most pedons. The BC or BCk horizon, where present, is gray, grayish brown, or brown, or it is mottled olive, yellow, and brown.
