Have anyone seen Crystalized trilobites?

It looks like they are in / on a marble. Do not see that they are "crystallized"

Dolomite, maybe?

These are typically found in Silurian exposures across the Midwest.

Here are some other examples of trilobites with dolomite crystals:

Those look like the ones found around Grafton, Illinois. Did you find them in Texas?

Given that this inquiry is in the "Is It Real?" forum, I think that "found" in this case may not mean collected in situ.

They are certainly not Texas trilobites. Besides Grafton, there are numerous Silurian localities with dolomitic (calymenid) trilobites.
