Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum
The Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum is a creationist museum in Crosbyton, Texas, opened in 1998.〔 Its motto is "Digging up the facts of God's Creation: One fossil at a time."
The warehouse-sized museum contains a mixture of fossilized skeletons and cast replicas. The replicas include 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 include the head of a metoposaur, and once included the world's largest four-tusked mastodon skull.〔
The museum also bases the Mount Blanco fossil excavation team who go 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.

Its owner, director, and curator is Joe Taylor (b circa 1945) who was an artist-turned-expert in making castings of ancient bones.〔("Day Trips" ), by Gerald McLeod, November 3, 2006, ''Austin Chronicle''.〕 Taylor was born to a farm family in Crosbyton, and was raised in the Primitive Baptist church. He worked as a commercial artist in Hollywood, California, on billboards on the Sunset Strip, magazine illustrations, the lettering on the original Mr. Pibb soda cans, and many album covers, which still fill a room in the museum. He became interested in fossils after cleaning and preparing bones at the La Brea tar pits, and made a 10-foot-by-40-foot casting of the Waco, Texas mammoth site, now on exhibit at Baylor University. He returned to Texas in 1984, to make a living as a fossil collector and mold-maker.〔 In 1986, he painted a 40 feet long and 10 feet high mural of the history of Crosbyton for the nearby Crosby County Pioneer Memorial Museum.〔("Find history housed in two museums on Crosbyton's Main Street" ), May 18, 2007, by Steffanie Cummings, ''Lubbock Avalanche-Journal''.〕
