Answer:

a cranium and vertebrae, but no jaws or paired fins

Explanation:

Lamprey belongs to a group of jawless vertebrates known as agnatha. In addition to being jawless, they posses a structure known as notochord which is a general feature of all vertebrates. The notochord however, is surrounded by cartilage-like vertebral column. The also posses brain which is usually housed in a cranium.

Lamprey posses no paired fins unlike other fishes. The notochord helps the to move as well s supports their bodies.

Hence, if Haikouichthys lanceolata is similar to lamprey, it will probably posses a cranium and vertebrae, but no jaws or paired fins just like lamprey.
