They're all in the same phylum of Vetulicolia, which were basically early deuterostomes.
They're pretty weird and cool, here's their wiki page: [link]

He was a challenge! I do still think it's a bit iffy, but, what can you do? They're not many references, considering they don't exist alive anymore XD.

One museum website had a guess that you could rotate by moving the mouse.

Just copying this from my tumblr, so you can tell me if I got any of it right:
The one at the top right is an anomalocaris, the armoured fish below that is a placoderm, probably an acanthothoracid. The one at the bottom left is an euryterid, possibly eurypterus (Iβm wearing another eurypterid right now, if that gets me any bonus points
