The Dolomites (Italian: Dolomiti [doloˈmiːti]), [1] also known as the Dolomite Mountains, Dolomite Alps or Dolomitic Alps, are a mountain range in northeastern Italy. They form part of the Southern Limestone Alps and extend from the River Adige in the west to the Piave Valley ( Pieve di Cadore ) in the east.
Dolomite (/ ˈ d ɒ l. ə ˌ m aɪ t, ˈ d oʊ. l ə-/) is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO 3) 2. The term is also used for a sedimentary carbonate rock composed mostly of the mineral dolomite (see Dolomite (rock) ).
Hokie Stone is a grey dolomite—limestone rock found near Blacksburg, in western Virginia. It gets its name from the traditional nickname attributed to students and alumni of Virginia Tech. Hokie Stone is quarried by Virginia Tech for campus projects and is prominently displayed on the majority of buildings throughout the Blacksburg campus.
Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of carbonate minerals (most commonly calcite (CaCO 3) or dolomite (CaMg(CO 3) 2) that have recrystallized under the influence of heat and pressure. [1] It has a crystalline texture, and is typically not foliated ( layered ), although there are exceptions.
The Pragser Wildsee, or Lake Prags, Lake Braies (Italian: Lago di Braies; German: Pragser Wildsee) is a natural lake in the Prags Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy.It belongs to the municipality of Prags which is located in the Prags Valley.
Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO 3) 2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites , though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 ...
Main Dolomite (German: Hauptdolomit, Hungarian: Fődolomit, Italian: Dolomia Principale) is a lithostratigraphic unit in the Alps of Europe. Formation was defined by K.W. Gümbel in 1857. Middle to Late Triassic sedimentary record in the Alpine realm is characterized by presence of various masses of dolomitic rock formations.
