The surface soil profile of this area is primarily Dorovan-Pamlico Series Association. The Dorovan Series consists of very deep, very poorly drained, moderately permeable soils on densely forested flood plains, hardwood swamps and Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Areas. They were formed in highly decomposed acid-organic materials. Slopes are less than 1 percent. The organic material ranges from 1.3-2.1 meters thick. Reaction is extremely acid to very strongly acid in the organic layers and very strongly acid or strongly acid in the mineral layers. The Pamlico Series consists of very poorly drained soils that formed in decomposed organic material underlain by dominantly sandy sediment. The soils are on nearly level flood plains, bays, and depressions of the Coastal Plain. Slopes are less than 1 percent. Pamlico soils have 0.4-1.3 meters of organic material over dominantly sandy sediments. Reaction is extremely in the organic layers and ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid in the underlying mineral layers.

The underlying geology of this area is the Cohansey Formation of middle Miocene origin and comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. It is sometimes locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where it is interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 meters; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion. (Source: USGS New Jersey Geologic Map Data). The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Mullica Series sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Alapaha Loamy Sand soil (0 to 2 percent slopes, occasionally flooded). The Alapaha Series consists of very deep, poorly drained, moderately slow to slowly permeable soils in small drainageways, flats, seepage areas, and depressions. They formed in sandy and loamy marine deposits of the Southern Coastal Plain. Slopes range from 0 to 5 percent. This series consists of deep, somewhat poorly drained soils. Permeability is very slow. These nearly level to gently sloping soils formed in clayey alluvium on flood plains of streams that drain uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain. The water table ranges from 0-25 cm below the surface and the soils are strongly acid. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey). | Wild material | | 2140816 | NA 88538 |

Slope: 3 to 8 percent. Aspect: West. The underlying geology of this area is characterized as Citronelle Formation of the Pliocene period. The Citronelle Formation is widespread in the Gulf Coastal Plain. The type section for the Citronelle Formation, named by Matson (1916), is near Citronelle, Alabama. The Citronelle Formation grades laterally, through a broad facies transition, into the Miccosukee Formation of the eastern Florida panhandle. Coe (1979) investigated the Citronelle Formation in portions of the western Florida panhandle. The Citronelle Formation is a siliciclastic, deltaic deposit that is lithologically similar to, and time equivalent with, the Cypresshead Formation and, at least in part, the Long Key Formation (Cunningham et al., 1998) of the peninsula. In the western panhandle, some of the sediments mapped as Citronelle Formation may be reworked Citronelle. The lithologies are the same and there are few fossils present to document a possible younger age. The Citronelle Formation consists of gray to orange, often mottled, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, very fine to very coarse, poorly sorted, clean to clayey sands. It contains significant amounts of clay, silt and gravel which may occur as beds and lenses and may vary considerably over short distances. Limonite nodules and limonite-cemented beds are common. Marine fossils are rare but fossil pollen, plant remains and occasional vertebrates are found. Much of the Citronelle Formation is highly permeable. It forms the Sand and Gravel Aquifer of the surficial aquifer system. The dominant fossils in the freshwater carbonates are mollusks. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data). The surface soil profile is classified as Troup Series loamy sand, 5 to 8 percent slopes. The Troup series consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained soils formed in unconsolidated sandy and loamy marine sediments. Troup soils are found on ridges and hillslopes. These soils are very strongly acid to strongly acid. (Source: California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). | Wild material | | 2169923 | NA 88586 |

Slope: N/A. Aspect: N/A. Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Middle Miocene, Serravallian origin and characterized as an Cohansey Formation. It is comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. Locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Unit is a complex of interfingering marine and nonmarine facies. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. In general, the sand is crossbedded, although the style of crossbedding varies significantly with the paleoenvironment. Trough crossbedding predominates, especially in the nonmarine channel fill deposits, and the scale of the crossbeds varies from small to large. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 m; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion. There is as much as 18 m of relief along the basal contact. The basal contact is sharp, undulatory, and directly overlain by a thin gravel bed. The Cohansey Formation unconformably overlies the Kirkwood Formation and is found in channels cut down into the Kirkwood. Where the Kirkwood consists of sandy, light-colored sediments, the basal contact of the Cohansey is drawn below crossbedded sediments. Where the Kirkwood consists of dark-colored silty beds, the basal contact is drawn between light-colored Cohansey sediments and the underlying dark-colored sediments. The Cohansey was markedly thinned because of erosion prior to deposition of overlying units in the western and southern parts of the southern sheet. The unit has been extensively eroded and stripped from large areas of the New Jersey Coastal Plain, particularly in the central sheet where outliers are common. In spite of its widespread nature, the Cohansey is poorly exposed because of its loose sandy composition, which causes it to erode easily. (Source: USGS New Jersey Geologic Map Data.)

They formed in thick deposits of sandy marine sediments. Th Lynn Haven Series soil is approximately 2 m thick and ranges from black near the surface to yellow brown in the deepest strata. Most of the strata are comprised of fine sands that are friable with the deepest strata also including a small percentage of organic matter. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout the profile. The water table is at 0-15 cm for periods of 2 to 6 months annually and within a depth 1 m for more than 6 months during most years; during extended dry periods it is below 1 meter. Depressional areas are ponded for long duration in most years. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey.) | Wild material | | 2159149 | NA 88721 |

Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the Cohansey Formation of middle Miocene origin and comprised of sand, white to yellow with local gravel and clay. It is sometimes locally stained red or orange brown by iron oxides and (or) cemented into large blocks of ironstone. Unweathered clay is typically dark gray, but commonly weathers white where it is interbedded with thin beds of ironstone. Sand is typically medium grained and moderately sorted although it ranges from fine to very coarse grained and from poorly to well sorted. Sand consists of quartz and siliceous rock fragments. Some beds are locally micaceous. Maximum thickness in the map area is about 60 meters; however, thickness is difficult to determine because of the irregular basal contact and extensive post-depositional erosion.
