CONDOVER QUARRY
Condover Quarry is excavated in some of the newest rock in Shropshire. They are mainly sediments from the last Ice Age		It was in this area that the remains of three woolly mammoths were found (one adult and two juveniles).

Home of the Shropshire's very own Woolly Mammoth, the bones of this giant creature were found sticking out of the sand and gravel pit back in 1986. The mammoth has been dated at 12,700 years old, making it one of the last surviving mammoths in England. You can see a model of the mammoth skeleton at the Secret Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms, along with a reconstruction of how it might have lived.
