Our third practice day combined most of the concepts we had previously seen - a rocky fragipan on a summit, several soils formed in colluvium, and a new concept - a shallow soil over paralithic and lithic material on a structural bench. The team ended strong and in excellent spirits!
 |
| A Paleudult on a summit developed in colluvium, pedisediment, and residuum. The fragipan in this soil was detectable, but very rocky and challenging to identify due to the extremely dry conditions. |
 |
| Gabrielle Holler and Dustin Brooks inspect a soil profile |
 |
| Riley Christopherson and Freya Personius contemplate the challenges of Ozark soil descriptions |
 |
| A shallow Hapludalf over weathered sandstone |
 |
| The team in excellent spirits after the final practice pit. Let's Go! |
