a carbonate mineral and rock type (also called a dolostone) composed of a calcium - magnesium carbonate.
carbonate mineral consisting of MgCa(CO3)2. It is the most stable carbonate mineral in the oceans, but it precipitates very slowly. "Dolomite" also refers to rock consisting of mostly of the mineral dolomite.
A variety of limestone rich in magnesium carbonate and less than 10% calcite. Ecological niche: Habitat where an organism thrives due to factors distinctive to that organism.
A mineral consisting of limestone and magnesium used to make soil more alkaline.
It is a common rock forming mineral and is comprised of calcium, carbon, magnesium and oxygen - CaMg(CO3).
A carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Useful as a source of these elements, raises pH.
(geology): A carbonate of calcium or magnesium (cf. calcrete) which only effervesces with dilute acid if powdered or heated. The Bushveld Complex comprises much dolomite, formed by algal deposition of calcium carbonate. Dolomite dissolves giving rise to sinkholes (as in Gauteng), but also stores water, giving rise to the "eyes" in North-West Province.
A limestone gravel with a small pH buffering ability.
1. A common rock-forming mineral. Dolomite is white, colorless, or tinged yellow, brown, pink, or gray. Dolomite is found in extensive beds as dolomite rock; it is a common vein mineral. 2. A carbonate sedimentary rock consisting of dolomite, or a variety of limestone or marble rich in magnesium carbonate. Dolomite occurs in crystalline and noncrystalline forms, is clearly associated and often interbedded with limestone, and usually represents a postdepositional replacement of limestone.

Dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate, CaMgCO) is a common type of sedimentary rock. Dolomite occurs in crystals and in masses. This mineral was named for the French mineralogist Déodat de Dolomieu (1750-1801), who first described it in 1791.
