The Orton Geological Museum has been housed in Orton Hall since the building's completion in 1893. The original collections were comprised of specimens gathered by Edward Orton, the Ohio State University's first President and first Professor of Geology, beginning in 1874. As of 2021, the museum houses examples of rocks, minerals, fossils, a dinosaur skeleton, and other geological specimens.
The Ohio State University, Orton Geological Museum Publications date from circa 1945, circa 1961, and 2001, and consist of educational and informational pamphlets about the museum and its collections.
