Dolomite is a type of limestone containing magnesium carbonate as well as the calcium carbonate of ordinary limestone. As with ordinary limestone, dolomite is a deposit of microscopic skeletons of dead plankton. When the plankton die their skeletons settle to the bottom of the ocean, forming a ooze that eventually solidifies. When mountain building activities raise this on the land we get limestone or dolomite.
