At least 18 species of scaphopods are recognized in samples from the Stone City and Cook Mountain Formations (Claibornian Stage) of the Brazos River Valley in southeastern Texas. These include 11 species of Cadulus, 4 of Dentalium, and 3 of Fustiaria; 10 of the species are described and named for the first time. Apical fragments of scaphopods from these formations show that some scaphopods truncate their apexes by periodically discarding a significant portion of the test. This is especially evident in species of Dentalium.
