	Morphological Notes
	A11	A relatively thick A horizon with a weak A2.
	A12	The A12/A2 is dilatant - very small water content between plastic and liquid limit.
	B21	The B2 does not appear to absorb water readily - Moderate sorptivity (dark red).
	B31	The B3 shows weak mottling (relict?) with an abundance of fine carbonate - the 
	carbonate is in soft segregations unlike previous profile.  White carbonates present.
	B31	White carbonate present.
	C	The very top of the C has no carbonate,  pressure drill rig was on to the unweathered 
	(carbonate free) shale.
