Abstract
⺠We analyze palygorskite from sources in Yucatán, Mexico using LA-ICP-MS. ⺠Y, V, and Cr distinguish these sources from one another. ⺠We compare these analyses with those of Maya Blue from Chichén Itzá and Palenque. ⺠The Maya Blue samples used palygorskite from Sacalum and near Ticul. ⺠These data are first evidence modern palygorskite sources were used for Maya Blue.
