Hill County Courthouse. The fourth courthouse for Hill County (organized in 1853) and the third one located in Hillsboro, this impressive landmark replaced a brick court building erected in 1874. Contractors Lovell, Miller and Hood of Brownsville built this structure in 1890 at a cost of $83,000, from Bell County limestone.
The Jurassic is called the Golden Age of dinosaurs, because of the variety and abundance of dinosaurs that lived during this time, among them the largest land animals of all time, the giant sauropods (figure 45.50). Sauropods such as Brachiosaurus were the dominant herbivores (plant eaters) of the Jurassic.
These huge creatures lived in the sea the same time dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Find out how big they were, what they ate - facts, pictures and information for kids. Of all the dinosaurs, it was Spinosaurus that took to the water. This was the biggest meat eating dinosaur that we know of. Scientists think it could live on both land and water like crocodiles. But it could definitely swim (it had webbed feet) and hunt in the water. It probably ate sharks and large fish. Spinosaurus is the only dinosaur we know that spent time living in the water.
