The term "dolomized" is a specialized word used in geology to describe a rock or sediment that contains a significant amount of dolomite minerals. Dolomite is a type of carbonate mineral that forms in marine environments and is often associated with limestone. Synonyms for this term include dolomitized, dolomitic, and dolostone. Each of these terms describes rocks or sediments that have been altered by the addition or replacement of dolomite minerals. This process typically occurs during diagenesis, which is the process of physical and chemical changes that occur in sediment after it is deposited. These terms are essential in geology and help to describe the composition and properties of rocks and sediments.
