	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Motagua Valley thornscrub (NT1312)
		Located in the Motagua Valley in Guatemala and surrounded by mountains, this ecoregion receives little rainfall and is substantially different from the neighboring regions.
		The Motagua valley thornscrub is one of the driest areas of Central America.
		The Motagua valley is situated in northeastern Guatemala, along the border of Honduras, where it lies on the fracture zone of the North American and Caribbean continental plates which have been moving apart since the Cenozoic.

	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - Karl Taube, Zachary Hruby and Luis Romero - Jadeite Sources and Ancient Workshops
		Today, large amounts of jadeite are being collected from a number of sources on the northern side of the Motagua River, including the lower Río La Palmilla and areas in the vicinity of Río Hondo (Figure 1, Figure 2 and 3, below, Figure 4, Figure 5; and Appendix, Figures 1, 2 and 3).
		In 1998, the disastrous flooding of Hurricane Mitch exposed large amounts of jadeite alluvial cobbles, or "float," in tributaries both to the north and south of the Motagua.
		As part of the larger Programa de Arqueología de Motagua Medio, the Proyecto Arqueológico del Jade was initiated in February of 2004 to document archaeological sites and jadeite sources in the upper Río El Tambor drainage.

	The Nature Conservancy in Guatemala - Motagua/Polochic System
		The Motagua Valley Thorn Shrub is one of Central America's driest ecosystems.
		The topography of the Motagua/Polochic System is defined by the Motagua geological fault to the south, the Polochic fault to the north and the Izabal depression, which have created altitudinal ranges from 0 to 10,000 feet.
		In addition, the Motagua Valley Thorn Scrub ecoregion is not part of the protected areas system and thus is even more susceptible to human intervention.

		The 2002 calendar year was a disastrous one for Motagua: In the Clausura of the 2001/02 season, the azules finished eighth, then ended up in fifth place in the Apertura of the current campaign, both times finishing out of the playoffs in the 10-team league.
		While the standing is better, Motagua has still eased into their third-place position.
		Ever since their first appearance in the Champions Cup in 1969, Motagua’s history since is littered with early exits, having never reached even a zonal final.

	Re-Discovery of Olmec Blue Jade - 1-Oct-02: Bulletin On-Line Miscellaneous article: contact Virginia B. Sisson
		This valley is the trace of the Motagua fault, a left-lateral, strike-slip fault that has up to 1,200 kilometers of offset and separates the North American plate from the Caribbean plate.
		In contrast, the tectonic blocks in serpentinite north of the Motagua fault are garnet-amphibolite rocks that form by retrogression of eclogite.
		Plans are now being made for future geologic studies to constrain the pressure-temperature for formation of jadeitite, eclogite, and blueschist formation (both north and south of the Motagua fault); geochronology of jadeitite formation; and accessory minerals in the jadeitite from north and south of the fault.

		Following rediscovery of the Motagua Valley source, archeologists have tried to determine whether or not it was the sole origin of jade for all the scattered Mesoamerican artifacts.
		The Motagua Valley follows the Motagua fault, an active fault that appears to be continuous with the Swan Fracture Zone, which cuts the floor of the Caribbean Sea and is the boundary between the North American and Caribbean plates of the earth's crust.
		The Motagua fault is the major fault of the right kind in the Mesoamerican region, although there are other related faults in Guatemala.

		The river parallels the left-lateral, strike-slip Motagua fault that offsets the rocks of the region by 1,200 kilometers.
		The presence of the jadeitite south of the Motagua fault indicates that while the surface collisional rocks on either side are different, the basement rock may be the same, Harlow says.
		The recent discovery indicates the Motagua fault is more than just a single fault, and a new geological map of the region is needed.
