The Salt Range is a mountain range in the north of Punjab province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt. The range extends along the south of the Potohar Plateau and the north of the Jhelum River. The Salt Range contains the great mines of Khewra, Kalabagh and Warcha which yield vast supplies of salt. Coal of a medium quality is also found.
In the Himalayan and Salt Range, rock containing fossil of marine life go back to the Ediacaran period , which shows these rocks have developed out of sea sediments, and that where we have the Himalayas now was once a sea.
