Exhibit focuses on prehistoric bounty of the Hill Country

The Hill Country is renowned for its bucolic terrain marked with pastoral fields, wildflowers and wooded pocket canyons cut by spring-fed rivers.

It is this unique geology and the fossils found within the landscape that is the focus of Geological History of the Hill Country, an exhibit that opens today and continues through Sept. 28 at the Kerr Arts & Cultural Center, 228 Earl Garrett St.
