GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These include theįarrenburg soils. Mean annual temperature ranges from 58 to 65 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation ranges from 45 to 55 inches. These soils are on broad, slightly convex, natural levees and terraces. They are nearly level or on gently undulating slopes ranging from 0 to 5 percent. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Malden soils formed in sandy alluvium. Tarboro soils have less fine and very fine sand and typically contain fewer weatherable minerals. Peveto soils have shell fragments throughout. Crevasse soils contain less silt and clay in the solum, have less fine sand throughout, and lack hues redder than 10YR in the upper part of the 10 to 40 inch control secton. Buncombe soils have less fine sand and have flakes of mica throughout.

Assateague soils have less than 5 percent silt plus clay in the control section. Some pedons have brown and grayish brown mottles below depths of 48 inches and some contain thin strata of loamy sand, loamy fine sand, fine sandy loam, or sandy loam. The C horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 4 to 6. It typically is loamy fine sand, fine sand, and loamy sand. The Bw horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 4 to 6, and some pedons are reddish brown (5YR 4/4). It is sand, fine sand or loamy fine sand. The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 3 or 4.
The control section has more than 5 percent silt plus clay. RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: The thickness of the solum ranges from 20 to 54 inches, but commonly is 30 to 48 inches.
