Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dolostone primarily forms through the chemical alteration of limestone, where magnesium-rich fluids percolate through the limestone and precipitate dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), replacing the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) of the limestone. This process does not involve the deposition of primary sediments like the formation of mudstone, conglomerate, and sandstone, which are clastic rocks formed from the compaction and cementation of physical sediment particles.
