Soil 3 - most of exposure has Ahk (2-5 cm thick) over Bmk (4-10 cm thick), with carbonates as for Soil 5
Soil 4 - mostly Ahk (10YR 3/2 d) material 2-8 cm thick, some Bmk (10YR 4/2 d) < 2 cm thick, with carbonates as for Soil 5
Soil 5 - complex intermixing of Ahk & Bmk material, charcoal most abundant in Ahk
- individual colour bands 2-10 cm thick
- overall dip of horizons (10° to W) is parallel to surface
- similar size & density of secondary carbonates as in loess above & below; associated with root channels, < 5 mm diameter, covering ~ 5% of surface
