Cenozoic ‘island dolostones’ are found on islands throughout the oceans of the world. Due to their geological youth and lack of deep burial, these dolostones provide an opportunity to resolve some of the mysteries surrounding the dolomite problem. In island dolostone bodies, which are of variable...

The Cayman Formation (Miocene), ~ 140 m thick on Grand Cayman, is incompletely dolomitized with the most of the dolomite restricted to the peripheral part of the island. These calcium-rich dolomites, with 50–60 mol%CaCO3 (%Ca), are divided into low-calcium dolomite (LCD, %Ca < 55%) and...
