coarse-silty, mixed, calcareous, mesic
Typic Torriorthent
(Garbutt series)

This soil is a member of the Garbutt Series and has undergone very little soil development. The parent material is a silty alluvium derived from calcareous lacustrine siltstone. The soil has not yet been significantly leached and calcium carbonate is still present in the upper horizons. In time, calcium carbonate in the upper profile will leach downward and accumulate in the subsoil.
