{n} a calcareous earth or lime stone containing an unusual quantity of fixed air
A mineral composed of calcium-magnesium carbonate, or a rock composed of this mineral Many dolomitic rocks are limestone that were 'dolomitized' by the action of ground-water solutions rich in magnesium
1 Mineral form of calcium-magnesium carbonate Constituent of some building limestones 2 Limestone consisting principally of the mineral dolomite
(dolostone) A sedimentary rock (calcium magnesium carbonate) similar to limestone (calcium carbonate) and especially common in the bedrock of northeastern Illinois

A natural carbonate of calcium and magnesium generally used as a flux in blast furnaces
A type of sedimentary rock similar to limestone but rich in magnesium carbonate, sometimes a reservoir rock for petroleum
A mineral consisting of a calcium magnesium carbonate [CaMg (CO3)2] found in crystals and in extensive beds as a compact limestone
A mineral consisting of the carbonate of lime and magnesia in varying proportions
Type of limestone, the carbonate fraction of which is dominated by the mineral dolomite, calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2. The carbonate mineral dolomite occurs in marbles, talc schists, and other magnesium-rich metamorphic rocks. It occurs in hydrothermal veins, in cavities in carbonate rocks, and less often in various sedimentary rocks as a cement. It is most common as a rock-forming mineral in carbonate rocks

a saline evaporite consisting of a mixed calcium and magnesium carbonate; it also exists as the rock dolostone
limestone-like rock composed primarily of the mineral calcium magnesium carbonate
A calcium-magnesium carbonate, often similar in appearance to limestone
It occurs in distinct crystals, and in extensive beds as a compact limestone, often crystalline granular, either white or clouded
(1) Sedimentary rock formed from CaMg(CO3)2
A type of sedimentary rock composed of magnesium carbonate
A carbonate sedimentary rock composed of more than 50 percent of the mineral calcium-magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2)
a light colored mineral consisting of calcium magnesium carbonate; a source of magnesium; used as a ceramic and as fertilizer a kind of sedimentary rock resembling limestone but consisting almost entirely of the mineral dolomite
Naturally occuring mineral consisting mainly of calcium - magnesium carbonate (Ca, Mg) CO3, also used as flux in steel plants
a sedimentary, often bedded rock similar to limestone but differing due to the addition of magnesium ions
{i} type of mineral; rock consisting mainly of this mineral
Also called bitter spar
It includes much of the common white marble
- a common rock-forming mineral, calcium magnesium carbonate; also used to identify a rock that is principally composed of the mineral dolomite
Jade Porcelain Stoneware
A magnesium rich, carbonate, sedimentary rock consisting mainly (more than 50% by weight) of the mineral dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2)
a light colored mineral consisting of calcium magnesium carbonate; a source of magnesium; used as a ceramic and as fertilizer
calcium magnesium carbonate used in glazes what for?
A sedimentary rock composed largely of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg (CO3)2)
a kind of sedimentary rock resembling limestone but consisting almost entirely of the mineral dolomite
A mineral consisting of a calcium magnesium carbonate found in crystals, as well as in extensive beds, as a compact limestone
Made from dolomitic limestone,that contains both magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, by a process of grinding Added to soils lacking these minerals
dolomite alps
an eastern range of the Alps in northeastern Italy famous for their dolomitic limestone
dolomitic
Of, pertaining to or containing dolomite
Dolomites
Italian Alpi Dolomitiche Mountain group, northern Italian Alps. Including a number of impressive peaks, 18 of which rise to more than 10,000 ft (3,050 m), the range and its characteristic rock are named for the 18th-century French geologist Dieudonné Dolomieu, who made the first scientific study of the region. The mountains are formed of light-colored dolomitic limestone, which erosion has carved into grotesque shapes. Popular with tourists and mountain-climbers, the area has a number of resort towns
dolomitic
