Dolomite is widespread in its occurrences, though not as common as limestone. [20] It is typically found in association with limestone or evaporite beds and is often interbedded with limestone. [21] There is no consistent trend in its abundance with age, but most dolomite appears to have formed at high stands of sea level. Little dolomite is found in Cenozoic beds (beds less than 65 million years old), which has been a time of generally low sea levels. [22] Times of high sea level also tend to be times of a greenhouse Earth, and it is possible that greenhouse conditions are the trigger for dolomite formation. [23] Williams, Ingrid K. (2018-08-30).

Dolomite is supersaturated in normal seawater by a factor of greater than ten, but dolomite is not seen to precipitate in the oceans. Likewise, geologists have not been successful at precipitating dolomite from seawater at normal temperatures and pressures in laboratory experiments. This is likely due to a very high activation energy for nucleating crystals of dolomite. [32] Mineral dolomite has a 12% to 13% smaller volume than calcite per alkali cation. Thus dolomitization likely increases porosity and contributes to the sugary texture of dolomite.

Major subgroups: Sella Group, Catinaccio, Puez Group, Odle Group, Sciliar, Latemar Group, Braies Dolomites, Sesto DolomitesOther mountain groups of similar geological structure are spread along the River Piave to the east— Dolomiti d'Oltrepiave; and far away over the Adige River to the west— Dolomiti di Brenta (Western Dolomites). A smaller group is called Piccole Dolomiti (Little Dolomites), between the provinces of Trentino, Verona and Vicenza.

There are many facilities that offer hospitality to tourists visiting the Dolomites, such as rifugi ( mountain huts). These facilities are situated high up in the mountains and are organised in such a way as to accommodate mountain climbers and hikers. Obviously, they don’t have all the facilities of a traditional hotel, but there is no comparison to waking up in the heart of the Dolomites! The huts are usually open from 20 June to 20 September, but these dates can change according to the weather conditions. Some advice: if you decide to sleep in a mountain hut, take a sleeping bag or a sleeping bag liner with you, as in the CAI-run huts it is obligatory to have them! Many dolomites show clear textural indications that they are secondary dolomites, formed by replacement of limestone. However, although much research has gone into understanding this process of dolomitization, the process remains poorly understood. There are also fine-grained dolomites showing no textural indications that they formed by replacement, and it is uncertain whether they formed by replacement of limestone that left no textural traces or are true primary dolomites. This dolomite problem was first recognized over two centuries ago but is still not fully resolved. [21] Highest peak: Mt. Marmolada (3,342 m a.s.l.), first ascent on August 3, 1802, by Don Giovanni Costadedòi, Don Giuseppe Terza and Don Tommaso Pezzei The Gruppo del Latemar: this can be easily reached on foot by following several paths that start from Pampeago, just above Tesero in Val di Fiemme or with ski lifts, from Predazzo up to Rifugio Passo Feudo (2175m). This is the start point for the hike to (Rifugio) Torre di Pisa, considered to be the gateway to the Latemar.
