It has few or common masses of iron accumulation in shades of yellow and red and iron depletions in shades of gray at a depth of 5 to 14 inches below the top of the argillic horizon, or it is variegated with the same colors. The texture is sandy loam or sandy clay loam, and the content of silt is less than 20 percent.

Surrency Series

The Surrency series consists of very deep, very poorly drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in sandy and loamy marine sediments. These soils are in depressions on uplands and are subject to ponding of very long duration. Slopes are 0 to 1 percent. These soils are loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Arenic Umbric Paleaquults.

Surrency soils are geographically associated with Bladen, Brickyard, Croatan, Garcon, Kinston, Ochlockonee, Pantego, Plummer, Rutlege, and Wahee soils. Bladen and Plummer soils are poorly drained. Brickyard and Kinston soils are stratified. Croatan soils have more than 16 inches of organic material. Garcon, Ochlockonee, and Wahee soils are better drained than the Surrency soils. Pantego soils have an argillic horizon at a depth of less than 20 inches. Rutlege soils do not have an argillic horizon.

Typical pedon of Surrency mucky sand, in an area of Croatan, Rutlege, and Surrency soils, depressional; about 1,700 feet west and 2,600 feet south of the northeast corner of sec. 27, T. 2 N., R. 10 W.
