Clays from the Bulganak volcanic field (Kerch Peninsula) were studied to estimate the possible sources of chemical elements in mud volcanoes. The collected clay samples were analyzed using inductively-coupled argon plasma mass spectrometry on an ELAN 9000 mass spectrometer (PerkinElmer-Sciex, USA-Canada). According to the obtained data, the geochemical specialization of the eruption products was determined. It was identified that Maikop clays in the vicinity of Kerch and in Lisya Bay spaced far
