Please respond to

I was recently reading through Harris et al. (2002) and was curious if
any follow up had taken place concerning their identification of an
isolated tooth as a belonging to a "prosauropod" dinosaur. I know that
in the past, the identifications of dental material by Heckert and
others has come under fire, and I was curious if this too was in
question.
Also, has there been any further work on the Madagascaran "prosauropods"?
Thanks
