fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Kanhapludult
(Cecil series)

This soil is one of the most extensive soils in the southeastern USA - it is estimated that Cecil soils are on nearly one-third of the Piedmont Plateau. Cecil soils form from felsic igneous and metamorphic rocks and is mapped from Virginia to Alabama. The Bt horizons typically have clay textures and may contain up to 70% clay. The Bt horizons are dominated by low-activity clays such as kaolinite and hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite.
