  1. Dolomite is oceanic in origin:

    Sevy Dolomite:

    Also, geologic units are traditionally named for the location that's published first.  IE, two teams discover the same unit in both Wisconsin and Michigan, but the team in Michigan ends up publishing their work first, so the whole thing gets named the Michigan unit.
