Wow, sharks @439mya, Polaris @70mya. They're more than 6 times older! This is NUTS!

What's even crazier is sharks are even older than trees!

Interestingly, Sharks became a thing around the same time that massive fungi structures that looked like trees existed.

So there could be planets where mushroom forests are dominant like one might see in the science fiction televisual dramas.

Honestly, I disagree. It is much more surprising to me that lifeforms I recognize are older than stars. They're different timescales in my mind that I never even considered comparing.

That's way back. What else was around in the oceans back then? Bony fish? Crabs? My octobuddies?
