Dolomitisaatio
Dolomitisaatio is a geological process whereby calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in limestone is replaced by dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2], a mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate. This transformation results in the formation of dolostone, also known as dolomite rock. The process typically occurs after the initial deposition of the limestone, often facilitated by magnesium-rich fluids circulating through the rock.
The exact mechanisms and environments for dolomitisaatio are still debated, but several theories exist. One prominent
Dolomitisaatio can significantly alter the porosity and permeability of a rock. In some cases, it can increase
