Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, Fossil museum in Crosbyton, Texas, US
The Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum contained glass-fronted cabinets filled with bones, mounted skeletons, and replicas of prehistoric creatures discovered in West Texas.
Founded in 1998 by artist-turned-paleontologist Joe Taylor, the museum operated from a former department store until its closure following his death in 2023.
The museum presented fossils from a biblical creationist perspective, featuring exhibits like the Tons of Dung display and claimed human footprint discoveries.
Located at 124 W Main St on US-82, the museum charged 10 dollars for admission and offered replicas of artifacts for purchase between 200 and 450 dollars.
The collection included the horns of an ice age bison measuring 11 feet across and a mastodon skull weighing 700 pounds, comparable to a Volkswagen.
