Sandstones of Murree Group of rocks exposed along Bani- Basohli road, Kathua District in Jammu were analyzed for petrography, petrofacies and provenance. These sandstones are classified as sublithic arenites and have been derived from mixed provenance including plutonic basement, sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks. Different types of quartz grains and other constituent minerals suggest the source from lower and middle and upper rank metamorphic terrains of the continental block-recycled orogen and subduction zone complex. The imprints of shallow burial diagenesis suggest low mechanical compaction probably just before cementation leading to moderate packing and reduction of porosity.
