SEQUENCES OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS THAT ARE CHARACTERISED BY REPETITIVE PATTERNS OF DIFFERENT ROCK TYPES (STRATA) OR FACIES WITHIN THE SEQUENCE
Cyclic sedimentation; Cyclic sediment; Rhythmic sediment; Rhythmic sediments; Depositional cycle
Cyclic sediments (also called rhythmic sediments) are sequences of sedimentary rocks that are characterised by repetitive patterns of different rock types (strata) or facies within the sequence. Processes that generate sedimentary cyclicity can be either autocyclic or allocyclic, and can result in piles of sedimentary cycles hundreds or even thousands of metres thick.

SEDIMENTARY CARBONATE ROCK
Dolomite rock; Magnesium limestone; Microdolomite; Microdolomites; Dolomitic limestone; Dolomite (rocks); Dolomitic rock; Dolostone; Metadolomite
Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites, though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 million years in age).

Dolomite (mineral)
Dolomite () is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO3)2. The term is also used for a sedimentary carbonate rock composed mostly of the mineral dolomite. An alternative name sometimes used for the dolomitic rock type is dolostone.
