Orton Geological Museum

Exhibits
Present exhibits feature the geologic history of Ohio (showing its rocks, minerals, and fossils) but also include specimens from all over the world. Other exhibits display meteorites (including one that fell in Ohio), minerals, crystals, dinosaurs (including a full-sized replica of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull), fluorescent minerals, and mammoth and mastodon teeth. The centerpiece of the exhibit hall is the mounted skeleton of a giant ground sloth, one of four found in the state.

Also come to visit Dunkleosteus, a 20-foot-long carnivorous fish. Dunkleosteus ruled the seas 380 million years ago when Ohio was located south of the equator and was covered by a tropical ocean.
