Ordinarily the color is similar to that of the parent material and the structure is amorphous or coarse platy. Air-dried clods do not slake when immersed in water. The duric horizon does not meet the requirements of a podzolic B horizon but may meet those of a Bt horizon. 1, record 7, English, - duric
