No, the fossil date look like trees. One can easily see the structures. One (unfortunately now deceased, at 90+) palenologist friend of mine showed me his work from the late 1940s and early 1950s showing the family structures of trees on both sides of the South Atlantic. The oldest fossils were exactly the same. Later fossils showed a binary divergence along the Atlantic. The orignal structure split into two structues, one in Africa and one in South America. The structures continued to evolve independently. One could trace family trees back to a common ancestor from before the split. This was before the mechanism of continental drift was discovered.

Certainly, when you look at fossils with reference to geological information there is a time inference which permits graphics to show fossils over time.

Genetic information however is not going to be available for those fossils (as I understand) and therefore the new information is going to be rather shallow without making a lot of assumptions.
