Are this small black trilobites real? I think they are Moroccan

I bought a ton of ammonites (think they are perisphinctes from Madagascar) from a salesman. He gifted me this small trilobite. Heard it might be a cast due to the small holes you can see. And I've seen this kind of trilobites from reputable sellers in my country so I'm not sure! Any help is appreciated!

Looks like a cast, and a poorly made one !

might be casts, but perhaps bad prepped real ones.

Looks like moroccean Proetus - Trilobites (when you search in the net with "Proetus morocco" you can find a lot of them to compare)

Poor cast. All those bubbles at the "right" place.

I've moved this thread to the "Is It Real" section since that would be a more appropriate area for this discussion.

Thank you everyone! I'm going to keep it as a "educative piece".
