Phylogenetic position of Chelonia

Hi

I'd be grateful if anybody could summarise current thinking on the position of Chelonia relative to other reptiles (both extinct and extant), and if possible, provide a reference to an up-to-date review article or somthing similar. I'm working on some turtle viruses and have read the recent molecular evolutionary papers eg. http://mbe.oupjournals.org/cgi/reprint/16/6/784, but I'd like to know what the latest evidence of the fossil record is.

All assistance much appreciated
Cheers
Derek
