• Frankstown site (Frankstown sand) : Mississippi - Prentiss ⁹⁴¹³⁶
Most fossils from the site have been either dug out of or picked up from the roadbed of the new extension of Highway 45,about seven miles south of Booneville, near the community of Frankstown, in western Prentiss County, northeastern Mississippi. Going north, the road crosses the top of a hill, passes over Twenty Mile Creek, then runs over a raised roadbed above the flood plain of the creek, a low area called Twenty Mile Bottom. The fossils appeared suddenly at the site during the summer of 1990 because of the building of the road. The road construction crew cut off the top of the hill south of the creek and used it as fill for the the raised roadbed on the north side. The roadbed was made available to Booneville High School students and fossil collectors from April 22 to May 2,1991, to study and collect. It was later graded and the roadside was covered with soil and seeded with grass.
