Join the School of Earth Sciences and the Orton Geological Museum in celebrating Earth Science Week and National Fossil Day
Earth Science Week 2023 is October 8-14. In celebration, each day we will highlight a rock, mineral, or fossil that tells an interesting story, and helps expand our understanding of the world around us. Visit Stones with Stories 2023 here or on our Facebook Page (@ortongeologicalmuseum).
What were our past Earth History Week events?
Our 2021 celebration was called Stones with Stories.
In 2020, our celebration was all virtual, with an installation of a Digital Exhibit of Ohio fossils, a new video, and a special live talk.
In 2019, our celebration of National Fossil Day (October 16, 2019) was also a celebration of the first anniversary of the installation of the Cryolophosaurus skeleton in Orton Hall’s lobby. Activities include carnival-style games, fossil digs, museum tours and talks.
Please join us next year for our Earth Science Week celebrations!!
