Dolerite is a dark, igneous rock. It is formed under basaltic volcanoes, like those at mid-ocean ridges. It cools pretty quickly when magma moves into the fractures and weak zones below a volcano. Because it cools so quickly, you can see large crystals on the rock. Once the magma moves into the rock, it forms dikes and or sills.
