Meadowtown is a hamlet in west Shropshire, England, in the civil parish of Worthen with Shelve. Neighbouring hamlets include Marton, Ox Wood, Crest Wood, and Rorrington. Meadowtown contains a "Site of Special Scientific Interest" according to the U.K. government. A long-disused quarry in the town is "a well known fossil collecting locality and has yielded typical and distinctive trilobites including Oxygiocarella debuchii, Marrolithus craticulatus, Lloydolithus lloydii and Oxyginus cordensis novenarius. Species of the brachiopod genus Dalmanella and occasional sponge spicules also occur." 〔http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1004180.pdf 〕 Meadowtown is also home to "Mammoth", a cow made famous on the internet involving a UK milk-price dispute. 〔http://www.shropshirestar.com/farming/2014/11/17/mammoth-the-shropshire-cow-becomes-an-internet-star-in-milk-price-fight/ 〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meadowtown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
