Sandstone is one of sedimentary rocks which have a large distribution in whole a part of the earth. Between 20% until 25% is the rate of sandstone distribution in each earth layer. From the heights until the deep ocean, we still found the sandstone layers in each portion. Sedimentary rock is rock that formed by [[diagenesis]] of other rock that has been sedimented. The sandstone composed of sediment materials from others process such as weathering and erosion of any other rocks. The reworking process is being continuously to provide the sediment materials which transported until each sedimentary basin. The rough materials will proceed to be smaller and smoother materials depend on how far it transported. The sandstone is meaning sedimentary rocks which have the size rate between 1/16 until 2 mm. The size that is called sand can be very rough until the smallest one is very fine. Sandstone have the moderate grain size, not too rough like pebble, granule, cobble or boulder but not too fine like silt or clay. So, there is easier to form the sand grain size, to transport them and to make them deposited. That’s why we can found the sand deposit or sandstone almost in everywhere.

We can intepreted the clastic by its texture. Texture is the appearance related to the size and shape of the grain as well as its composition.<ref name=Pettijohn1975>Pettijohn, F.

Dokontrol formation by the media and means of transportation (Jackson, 1970; Reineck and Singh, 1975). Discussion textures include: grain size, sorting, roundness, shape, porocity, fabric

We can know more about sandstone by its composition, in Folk and Dott Clasification, we have to know about quartz, feldspar, and rock fragments that compose the sandstone. When we figure it out, we can named it by looking the classification.

The difference about sedimentary rock are clastic and non-clastic.  The clastic sedimentary is the formation of precipitation or planning denritus rock back there. Origin rocks can be igneous, and metamorphic rocks sedimnen. In the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks have experienced diagnesa ie changes that took place at low temperatures in a sediment during and after lithification. Composed by clastics that happens because the deposition process mechanically and encountered allogenic minerals. Allogenic minerals are minerals that are not formed on the environment during sedimentation or sedimentation occurs. These minerals come from rocks that have undergone transport origin and then deposited on the environment sedimentation.

There are many properties of sandstone such as the external structure because of tectonic, or sedimentary structure because of depositional process and kinds of many factors that influence the deposit. The sedimentary structure can help us to understand how the condition when the sand materials deposited such as current’s power, and burial [[deformation]]. The other one properties that was important is the composition of the sandstone. Knowing the composition, may help us to understand where is the sand sediment come from and what is the source rocks of deposit, so we can interpret the sedimentation history of each kind of sandstone. The study of this case is sandstone provenance.

==Lithic arenite provenance==

==Lithic arenite provenance==

Lithic arenite consists of a fairly high content of unstable rock fragments such as volcanic rocks and metamorphic rocks clastics. Lithic arenite fragments can be composed of [[chert]]. These sandstones may contain less than 90 percent of quartz grain and assemblage of rock fragments are more unstable than feldspar. The color is usually light gray and dark gray. Most lithic arenite are poorly sorted. Most of lithic arenite have an immature to submature textural maturity. Lithic arenite may appear on marine turbidite sediments and fluvial. Pettijohn (1963) estimates that the lithic arenite and graywacke make up nearly half of the sandstones. The lithic fragments indicates the source of sediments derived from high relief environment. These sandstones are usually present on the [[alluvial]] fan but can also be present in the fold thrust belt in the Foreland basin. Volcaniclastic sandstone is a special kind of lithic arenite derived from volcanic detritus. Usually formed of pyroclastic material that transported or reworked. Typically characterized by the presence of euhedral feldspar, pumice fragments, glass shards, fragments of volcanic rocks, and little quartz content.
