About Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum
The Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum was a creationist museum in Crosbyton, Texas, United States, opened in 1998. Its motto was "Digging up the facts of God's Creation: One fossil at a time."
The warehouse-sized museum contained a mixture of fossilized skeletons and cast replicas. The replicas included a juvenile Triceratops, a full-sized mastodon skeleton, the largest hadrosaur leg ever found, and the world's largest ice age bison skull. Real bones displayed included the head of a metoposaur, and once included the world's largest four-tusked mastodon skull.
The museum also based the Mount Blanco fossil excavation team who went on digs and investigate fossil evidence according to a creationist view. The museum has collaborated with Carl Baugh of the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas, in casting alleged mixed human and dinosaur footprints. Those prints have been strongly criticized as incorrectly identified dinosaur prints, other fossils, or outright forgeries.
The museum announced its permanent closure in 2023 following founder Joe Taylor's death.
