 VENTRIS SERIES
 
-The Ventris series consists of moderately deep, moderately well drained soils with very slow permeability.  They formed in
-residual material weathered from dolomite, limestone, or
-calcareous shales.  These soils are on uplands in the Ozark
-Highland.  Slopes range from 3 to 40 percent.

-COMPETING SERIES:  Ventris is the only series in this family.
-Series with common limits in definition are Cadeville, Homa, Invershiel, Marion, Orange, and Wister series.  Cadeville, Invershiel, Orange, and Wister soils have less than 60 percent
-clay in the control section and are thermic.  Homa soils are
-similar in texture but are thermic.  Marion soils have less than
-60 percent clay in the control section.

+Reaction: slightly acid to mildly alkaline
 
-GEOGRAPHIC SETTING:  Ventris soils are on broad gently sloping uplands, side slopes, and on foot slopes of hills and mountains.  Slopes range from 3 to 40 percent.  They formed in residual
-material weathered from dolomite, limestones, and calcareous
-shales of the Ozarks Highlands.
+Cr horizon
+Note: highly fractured weathered dolostone, limestone, or shale of light gray to yellowish brown colors.
 
-GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS:  These are Arkana, Captina, Clarksville, Doniphan, Gassville, and Moko series.  Arkana soils
-have thicker mollic surface layers, dominant B horizon colors of
-5YR and on similar landscapes and steeper side slopes.  Captina
-soils have a fine-silty control section, a fragipan, and are
-adjacent similar landscapes.  Doniphan soils are deeper than 40 inches to bedrock, have redder B horizons, low base saturation in
-the lower solum and on similar landscapes.  Gassville soils have redder B horizons, low base saturation in the lower solum and
-mostly on steeper side slopes.  Moko soils are shallow to bedrock, have a loamy-skeletal control section, and on similar landscapes.
+R horizon
+Note: hard level bedded dolostone limestone or shale.
 
-DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY:  Moderately well drained; medium to
-rapid runoff; very slow permeability.
