Enable You to Accurately Describe Your Soil Sample
This guide was developed in cooperation with the U.S. Soil Conservation Service guidelines for classifying colors of various soils. It helps you and your colleagues across the room—and across the country—clearly communicate exactly what type of soil you are analyzing. It can also be used for rocks, archaeological specimens, animal pelage and other natural products in this color range.
The Munsell guide comes in a loose-leaf binder with water-resistant, washable text pages. One page also features a small ruler for on-the-spot measuring.
Matte color chips are mounted on nine washable tabbed charts: 10R, 2.5YR, 5YR, 7.5YR, 10YR, 2.5Y and 5Y, plus Two-Page Gley Chart (blue and green colors, and gray scale for submerged soils). Has two washable masks (black/gray). Illustrations of soil grain structures and charts for estimating proportions of mottles and coarse fragments; color name diagrams and instructions. Chart measures 7-1/4"H x 4-1/4"W; chips are 5/8"W x 1/2"L.
