They are likely real. They look like the relatively common (at least commonly seen in rock shops and the like) Moroccan trilobite Flexicalyme ouzregui which is Ordovician in age.

These are real.  Looks like someone has done a little something to the rock when putting them back together.  These are too common to try and fake.
