This is not true. As Leonard said, the trilobites were wiped out by
the end-Permian mass extinction. An excellent account of the
evolutionary history of trilobites can be found in Richard Fortey's
book _Trilobite!_, which I reviewed a few years ago:

D'oh!
I think I was thinking of the Burgess Shale, which for some reason got
associated in my head with trilobites, Cambrian extinctions, and total
vanishment.
Sigh…
