Answer:

The climate in that area is different today than when tropical plants and animals lived there

Explanation:

The most likely reason for the absence of those tropical animals in North Texas would be the climate.

Climatic conditions have varied through geologic history of our blue planets. When these conditions changes, organisms have to adapt and on the long run, the environment won't be able to sustain them. They become phased out.

It is possible for rock records in a place to bear different fossil records records that are not similar compared to the life we have in such areas today.

The Sahara desert for example has huge fossils of fishes in its rocks. Today, the area is a hot desert and contains very low biodiversity. Sciencist have proposed that the region was previously a lush green tropical forest and the ocean covered some parts too. Today, the Sahara's climate has changed.

How did Islam become part of North African culture
salantis [7]

Islam gained momentum during the 10th century in West Africa with the start of the Almoravid dynasty movement on the Senegal River and as rulers and kings embraced Islam. Islam then spread slowly in much of the continent through trade and preaching. During this period these Muslims from North and West Africa came to be known by Europeans at large as Moors and were depicted by Europeans as black, swarthy or tawny in skin color.

According to Arab oral tradition, Islam first came to Africa with Muslim refugees fleeing persecution in the Arab peninsula. This was followed by a military invasion, some seven years after the death of the prophet Mohammed in 639, under the command of the Muslim Arab General, Amr ibn al-Asi.
