Dinosaur bone histology



I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of any new
references (Post 1990) on dinosaur bone histology, especially any comparative 
work with other fossil reptile bone. The problem which I am facing is a 
fragmentary vertebrate record from a high energy palaeoenvironment.
I have already identified crocodile remains from the locality, thanks 
to a couple of well placed scutes and skull fragments, however some
 of the bone is relatively massive in comparison to the croc bits and 
appears to have been passed through the 'mother of all taphonomic 
filters !!' leaving me with little in the way of bone morphology to go 
on ?
Many Thanks
