Density values distribution for dolomites. Number in parenthesis represent the total number of data. See Fig. 6 for explanation of curves and histograms. In this case, the graphs justify our choice to merge the surface data with data at depth (boreholes). The mode for outcrops and borehole data though is quite different. The difference between mode and average in the outcrop data is also significant, indicating a large uncertainty, linked to the low number of data available (18). Averages are in both cases coincident. The total data population has been used to attribute a density value of 2796 kg/m3 and a standard deviation of 58 kg/m3 for the dolomites
