	Morphological Notes
	A11p	Soil moist under surface. The profile is very wet throughout. This may have added to its 
	almost complete lack of structure, even in the B2 horizon. No carbonate. This profile still 
	classes as a Ug5.15 since this is how it would appear in a 
	A12	dry state.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, clay,  parna on fourth fan, Namoi
