I saw this fish, depicted as the _first_ fish, on the Discovery Channel special 'Before the Dinosaurs' just last night. I mean, almost exactly. As I recall the fish last existed about 400,000,000 years ago.

A little Googling later, I found the term 'ostracodem', or jawless fish, from the Cambrian Period, 540-500 million years ago. Here's a drawing from fossils, looks just like your guy:

This fish is known as the "ostracodem fanfruitinine caledescent tutinanny" or the one eyed mushroom headed fish. I specialize in marine biology- I know this fish pretty well. You should check out my book on it...The Many Different Types of Mushroom Headed Fish. I love fish.
