IF they didn't know what they were exactly, they did use slate slabs for roof
tiles and fossil trilobites are certainly present in many of those deposits.; I
think there is town over in England known for it's slate roofs with"bugs" in the
tiles.
Might be worth trying it even if they didn't know it was a trilobite, could you
use "bug" and take the artistic liberty of it looking like a trilobite?

I sincerely doubt that anyone who found a trilobite fossil knew what
they were looking at, with the possible exception of Albert of Saxony
and several Persian scholars, but people are bound to have run across
them during quarrying operations. The trilobites were an incredibly
widespread and diverse group of animals. Xenophanes recognized and wrote
about fossil sea creatures as far back as the 6th century B.C.
