Less, one of the major genetic innovations of the late Cambrian was development of jaws. The vast majority of these species would get wrecked by modern fish in moments.

It's so cool to think we are living in an era of modern superfish, which would absolutely destroy any other fish that ever lived, since fish were upgraded over millions of years to where they are.

Imagine the future with megafishs, having evolved.... fish nets ?... and lasers!... and and barbecues...

Lasers and barbecues not so much yet, but Blue Whales, Humback Whales, and Whale Sharks have effectively turned their teeth into fishing nets.

It is wild to remember we're all descended from fish. I mostly refer to our primate tendencies (listen to a kid scream and tell me we're not descended from apes) but a lot of our parts, like our skeletons, are highly modified fish parts. It's crazy.

Sharks with lazers on thier head! Because everyone deserves a warm meal.

I mean, it follows that eventually evolution would produce fauna that would take apart a nuclear submarine in seconds.
