The term ''dolostone'' was introduced to avoid confusion with the mineral ''dolomite''. The usage of the term ''dolostone'' is controversial because the name Dolomite was first applied to the rock during the late eighteenth century and thus has technical precedence. The use of the term dolostone is not recommended by the ''Glossary of Geology'' published by the American Geological Institute (AGI). It is, however, used in some geological publications.
