Crazy times it’s the last day of practice pits and it’s team flannel day! Team flannel day is a competition tradition, and you bet we were out there rocking it.
Yay flannels!
Started off the day with 1 pit and 2 parent materials then human transported material in the next!
You can see the sediment at the bottom as geogenic structure, indicating low development (some kind of a transition or C horizon)
During lunch break Nic showed us his stash……. Of rock cores!! To prepare use for a true Cr horizon in the next pit. They are now treasured possessions. We love rocks, and even seeing how the rocks had been formed through high stress was so cool!
This pit contained an A and C horizon on top of an A horizon due to human transport. This is a heavily used site for teaching.
This pit was so carved out from the Cr horizon that we could sit in it!
We love team pits!!
We ended the day with a group pit on a very steep slope (18%!!)
Back at our Air BNB, we reminisced on all the teams who had come before us, and what pride we took in being UMN soil judgers. We are so glad to be a part of the soil legacy!
