In the Canadian system, this would be a Eluviated District Brunisol. Note the two E horizons - this is referred to as a bisequa soil, where the original profile is buried and then pedogenesis begins again and forms a mini profile over the buried one.

Canadian description would be:

Om Ae Bm IIAeb IIBm II C

    Pedology definitely has its own language. The USDA version makes my head spin - they smush a bunch of prefixes and suffixes together to make a word. It’s really weird from the outside looking in. The Canadian system is kind of like that but we use full words to describe.

    ex: Gleyed Gray Luvisol - each word means something.

    in the US, they use parts of words to make a new one, which is weird.
