When Did Jawless Fish Evolved?

The oldest jawless fish with bone is known from 470 million years ago (Arandaspis). It is similar to the oldest complete fossil of Sacabamaspis from the Late Ordovician. The earliest Ordovician fish seem to be relatives (and perhaps ancestral to) the later group of heterostracans.
