Did they really look like this or were there big fat blubbery bits that didn’t survive fossilisation

Unlikely for there to be bubbly bits. These are bugs, so we know their shape because their exoskeleton (which is what fossilizes) is their shape. Fish haven't evolved yet

Thanks. I looked it up.

You saying these are bugs tickles my funny bone imagining a metre long anomalcaris scuttling out from under the fridge, like a scene from a Cronenberg movie.
