===Dolomitization===

''Dolomitization'' is a diagenetic process that converts [[limestones]] to [[dolostones]] through a microchemical process of calcium carbonate dissolution and dolomite precipitation. Dolomitization can change the rock fabric and the petrophysical properties significantly because the dolomite [[Crystallization|crystal]]s are commonly larger than the replaced limestone particles. Dolomite [[cement]] systematically grows on the dolomite crystal faces, reducing reservoir quality. Dolomitization requires the addition of large quantities of magnesium through fluid flow.
