Which rock is formed from the metamorphism of limestone or dolostone? 

Limestone is made up of calcium carbonate minerals, and dolomite contains calcium magnesium carbonate. During metamorphism, the calcite and dolomite minerals in the original rock recrystallize. This causes the development of marble with a distinct texture.
