Wyoming Raptor & herbivoir necks



While at the Tate Museum (did I say I really liked that 
place?*snicker*)...I bought a cast of a 'Wyoming Raptor' tooth, but was 
later told it was the cast of an Allosaur tooth.
So here's my question was it....
A type of Allosaur known as Wyoming Raptor?
A type of Dromaeosaurid known as Wyoming Raptor?
Or a plain old Allosaur they called 'Wyoming Raptor' just for fun?
basicly,
WHAT IS WYOMING RAPTOR?

Also, it seems to be that everyone's been talking about 
hadrosaurid/duckbill dinosaur necks. I don't know what the big thing 
is....I think they had muscular necks, like a horse's (some people say 
bison have necks like duckbills but I dont know-haven't looked at a 
bison neck or skeleton in great detail) because their necks look like 
horse's necks-with the curve in it, ya know???? I was wondering if there 
are any paintings showing duckbills with the 'thick necks' on the 'net, 
or sketches??? I think the thing with them having the muscular neck 
makes sense, at least it has to me since I took biology 2 years ago in 
6th grade...
(this year'll be fun-I take Advanced Placement Biology)

And another thing...
(Geeze. Im rambling. Someone stop my fingers from typing!)
Anyone know of any books that would tell about the plants that lived in 
the mesozoic era in north america? Something that would tell of the 
plants, perhaps by state they were in and the time period, with pictures 
of what they would look like and modern day equivalents??
