References on plesiosauria?



Looking for the definitive resource on plesiosaurs.  We have *North American 
Plesiosauria; Williston, Samual W; 1903*, but no others.

Can anyone recommend additional reading, especially taphonomy?

A friend and I found a tooth, not dinosaur, not crocodile, not mosasaur (to 
the best of our knowledge).  Recurved, nearly round in section with a 
slight, posterior, longitudinal ridge.  Very dense.  The tip is missing, but 
we have the base 1.5 inch, and calculate the overall length at approx 3 
inches. Found with widely scattered and eroded cranial(?) material, 
characterized by concentric, elliptical cross-section.  Claggett -> Judith 
River transitional sandstones near Havre, Mt.  Any suggestions?
