Isn't at least some of this functionality in mvSLOUCH and/or geiger? ...it's definitely the case that mvSLOUCH can handle missing data at the tips, and I think fossil data can be incorporated in it and geiger as well. At least Slater 2013 has code for incorporating fossils in geiger or modified geiger functions.
