When did fish first appear in the fossil record?

The first known vertebrate fossils, found at the Chengjiang locality in China, date back to the early Cambrian. These early vertebrates, such as Haikouichthys, are small, tapered, streamlined animals showing eyes, a brain, pharyngeal arches, a notochord, and rudimentary vertebrae. Vertebrates appear to have radiated in the late Ordovician, about 450 million years ago. However, most Ordovician fossil fossil vertebrates are rare and fragmentary, although available material suggests that ancestors of the sharks and jawed fish were present along with various lineages of armored jawless fish. By the middle Silurian, about 400 million years ago, the picture is clearer: the armored jawless fish were quite diverse, and the first definite jawed fish had appeared -- the Silurian is sometimes called the "Age of Fishes." By the late Devonian, 360 million years ago, early cartilaginous fish and bony fish were diversifying.

What is the sequence of vertebrate evolution?

Jawless Fish were first, then jawed fish, then fleshy finned, ray-finned and other modern jawed fish evolved, amphibians and sharks were evolving at about the same time, reptiles evolved from amphibians, mammals and birds were both evolving at about the same time( both from reptiles), dinosaurs were also evolving at this time and about 100 million years later the asteroid hit the Earth and Mammals started to takeover where dinosaurs had been and 200000 years ago we evolved.
