	Dolomites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dolomites (in Italian, Alpi Dolomitiche) are a section of the Alps.
		They are located in equal parts in the provinces of South Tyrol, Belluno and Trentino (all in northern Italy) and extend from the Adige river in the west to the Pieve valley (Pieve di Cadore) in the east.
		The name "Dolomites" is derived from the famous French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu (1750 -1801) who was the first to describe the rock, Dolomite, a form of limestone which is responsible for the characteristic shapes of these great mountains.

		Dolomite is produced by dolomitization, a diagenetic process in which the calcium carbonate minerals aragonite and calcite are recrystallized and converted into the mineral dolomite.
		Dolomites are mainly produced by the secondary alteration or replacement of limestones; i.e., the mineral dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2] replaces the calcite...
		Gradually the limy sediment hardened to stone—either limestone or dolomite, a limestone with magnesium.
