Dolomite ~ Learning Geology
As limestone and dolomite shares the same depositional environment as shallow marine, warm water where organism can accumulate which in turn when deposits form carbonate So in formation of dolomite it is thought to be the alteration of carbonate by magnesium rich water, Magnesium in the water converts calcite into dolomite, This alteration is the chemical change in the limestone which is.

live chatEstimation of dolomite formation: Dolomite precipitation
Using the available dolomite precipitation rate kinetics, calculations suggest that tens of meters of thick dolomite deposits cannot form at near room temperature (25-35°C) by inorganic precipitation mechanism, though this mechanism will provide dolomite aggregates that can act as the nuclei for dolomite crystallization during later.

The experimental replacement of calcite and aragonite by dolomite under a variety of conditions indicates that dolomitization can take place in marine and lacustrine environments under two conditions: (i) low dissolved sulfate concentrations and (ii) insubstantial contemporaneous silica diagenesis Common sites for dolomite formation are areas where the dissolved sulfate concentration is.
