  2. Dolomite (rock) - Wikipedia

    • Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites, though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 million years in age). On… 詳細

    Name

    Dolomite takes its name from the 18th-century French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750–1801), … 詳細

    Description

    Dolomite rock is defined as sedimentary carbonate rock composed of more than 50% mineral dolomite. Dolomite is characterized by its nearly ideal 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of magnesium to calcium. It is disti… 詳細

    Occurrence and origin

    Dolomite is widespread in its occurrences, though not as common as limestone. It is typically found in association with limestone or evaporite beds and is often interbedded with limestone. There is no consistent trend i… 詳細

    Uses

    Dolomite is used for many of the same purposes as limestone, including as construction aggregate; in agriculture to neutralize soil acidity and supply calcium and magnesium; as a source of carbon dioxide; … 詳細

    Caves in dolomite rock

    As with limestone caves, natural caves and solution tubes typically form in dolomite rock as a result of the dissolution by weak carbonic acid. Caves can also, less commonly, form through dissolution of rock by … 詳細

    Dolomitic Limestone is also known as “Dolomite,” and is often preferred over Limestone because it has a harder composition, is less absorbent and more resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, and has a higher resilience to acidic erosion.
