	 Slightly water repellant some llight yellow brown grains
	A2	Some coarse sand grains.  Slightly water repellant some light yellow brown grains
	A2	Some coarse sand grains.  Slightly water repellant some  light yellow brown  grains
	A2	Questionable A2/A3 horizon.  Some coarse sand grains.  Slightly water repellant some  
	light yellow brown  grains
	A3	Some coarse sand grains.  Slightly water repellant some  light yellow brown grains
	A3	Some B1 - upper domes included in sample.
	B1	Bleached sand on domes.  Stucture = domed, otherwise massive.
	B2	Sructure = massive to weak platy, some sandy lenses.
	Many root channels.  Texture for samples 9 to 13 is clay with some sand (washed 
	through from upper horizons).  Texture is sticky when wet.
	Many root channels.   Carbonates mostly in small pockets and channels.  Texture is 
	sticky when wet.
