The highlands of Israel are primarily underlain by sedimentary limestone, dolomite and dolomitic limestone. The Aoufous Formation is characterized by three facies&colon; variegated claystones, gypsum layers and dolomitic limestones. Periclase is usually found in marble produced by metamorphism of dolomitic limestones. Wood Ranch is a slope-forming pale red and gray siltstone and dolomitic sandstone. This dolomitic reef complex is overlain by younger undolotomized reef limestone. Unlike in the dolomitic Qixia Formation, dolomite in the Maokou Formation seldom ranges above 3%. The Niagara caprock is made of dolomitic limestone. Garnet, calcite, dolomitic and a variety of minerals may occur as druse coatings. The viaduct's masonry is approximately in volume and is jointed with dolomitic limestone. Underground water occurs in abundance in dolomitic aquifers of the region. During times of falling sea levels, evaporitic, dolomitic, lagoonal, and lacustrine facies were left behind. Cristallo is largely formed from the Upper Triassic dolomitic rock Dolomia principale. These are mostly stratiform deposits in alternating dolomitic and terrigenous formations. It is the only dolomitic group west of river Adige. Typical formation environment is in serpentinized Dolomitic limestone and contact metamorphosed skarns.
