The studyrevealed that the sandstone is litharenite consists of 45.56% rock fragments, 22.13%quartz and 8.5% feldspars. The matrix is about 8.39%, consisting of silt and clayparticles. The cement is variable (carbonates 8.42%, evaporites 1.78% and ironoxides 0.96%). The grain assemblage infers that the source of the rock fragments isnearby. The petrographic analyses indicate that the studied Injana sandstones areimmature mineralogically because of their content of unstable constituents, such aslithic fragments and feldspars. In addition, the presence of such fresh feldsparsindicates that the climate in the source area and the deposition site were arid to semiarid.
