Extremely Gravelly XGR GRX ≥ 60% but < 90% gravel Use adjective for Cobbly CB CB ≥ 15% but < 35% cobbles 15 to < 35 appropriate size; e.g., Very Cobbly VCB CBV ≥ 35% but < 60% cobbles gravelly. Extremely Cobbly XCB CBX ≥ 60% but < 90% cobbles Use “very” with the Stony ST ST ≥ 15% but < 35% stones 35 to < 60 appropriate size adjective; Very Stony VST STV ≥ 35% but < 60% stones e.g., very gravelly. Extremely Stony XST STX ≥ 60% but < 90% stones Use “extremely” with the Boudlery BY BY ≥ 15% but < 35% boulders 60 to < 90 appropriate size adjective; Very Bouldery VBY BYV ≥ 35% but < 60% boulders e.g., extremely gravelly.

If ≤ Channery CN CN ≥ 15% but < 35% channers 10% fine earth, use the Very Channery VCN CNV ≥ 35% but < 60% channers appropriate noun for the ≥ 90 Extremely Channery XCN CNX ≥ 60% but < 90% channers dominant size class; e.g., Flaggy FL FL ≥ 15% but < 35% flagstones gravel. Use terms in lieu of Very Flaggy VFL FLV ≥ 35% but < 60% flagstones texture. Extremely Flaggy XFL FLX ≥ 60% but < 90% flagstones
