	A11p	In the B2 horizon there is also a very coarse prismatic structure. MVpH. Upper part of B2
	 is not as well-structured as lower part.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, clay,  parna on third fan
	Site Notes
	Reddish brown surface. Surface cracks have been covered by cattle trampling. This land surface appears to slope away in all
	 directions.
