Tours, Lectures, and Workshops
Guided tours of the H. R. Collins Laboratory (HRCL) and lectures about the geology and fossils of Ohio are available upon request. Tours for individuals and groups up to 40 are conducted during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday) and generally last about an hour. After-hours/weekend tours and lectures are generally discouraged, but such requests may be granted after review on a case-by-case basis.
Each tour will provide participants with information about one of Ohio’s most unique libraries—a library of miles and miles of rocks that tell the story of the geology buried deep beneath Ohio’s landscape. Division of Geological Survey geologists are available to lead each tour and answer questions concerning the HRCL and the geology and fossils of Ohio. Please contact Gregory A. Schumacher at greg.schumacher@dnr.state.oh.us or (740) 548-7348, ext. 25 to schedule a tour or lecture.
Each year the HRCL will hold a limited number of geologic workshops for students, faculty, industry, and consultants. Workshop topics will be advertised on the Division of Geological Survey website and other media outlets.
