Journey to Ohio’s past in a new exhibit, “Ohio Unearthed: Geological Discoveries from UA’s Backyard,” now on display at Bierce Library.
Curated by University Libraries and the Department of Geosciences, “Ohio Unearthed” shares the rich geological and fossil history of the Buckeye State.
Minerals, ancient fossils, and mastodon bones discovered in the University of Akron’s backyard are on loan from the Department of Geosciences for this fascinating exhibit.
These artifacts along with student research on Summit Lake’s sediment tell the environmental story of Akron and Ohio and their roles in Earth’s geological history.
Explore and interact with “Ohio Unearthed” in Bierce Library’s display cases around the first floor staircase during open hours.
