1959
Grossman, R. B. | Stephen, I. | Fehrenbacher, J. B. | Beavers, A. H.
Micromorphological studies of Hosmer silt loam, a bisequal soil with a fragipan, indicate that the B₂ horizon of the upper sequum is at present an apparently stable, non-illuvial horizon, whereas the B horizons of the lower sequum are apparently illuvial in character, and in the process of degradation to form the encroaching A′₂ horizon. An attempt is made to relate resistance to rupture of the major horizons to their micromorphology.
