Dolomite Rock

A species of Sedimentary, Also known as Dolostone

This hard, sedimentary rock can be found around the world, although it is named for the Dolomite Range, a portion of the Italian Alps that is famous for its sheer and striking rock formations (although the range is not entirely comprised of dolomite Rock, it is a key component). As is the case with its close cousin limestone, the erosion of dolomite Rock commonly forms caves, cliffs, and other interesting geologic features.
