Ezekiel had an inspired dream (vision) of the resurrection in what is called today, chapter 37.
"The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones... He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest... Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord." (Ezek.37:1-6)
"...Son of man, these bones are the whole House of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost... therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O My people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up out of your graves, and shall put My Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord." (verses 11-14)

Answer 2
The resurrection of the dead in general is mentioned in Isaiah 26:19. See also Ezekiel 37.

Which prophecy has no Old Testament reference?
I assume you are talking about prophecies further explained or fulfilled in the New Testament that were either directly mentioned or alluded to in the Old Testament.

The only possible exception could be that of the Church in the New Testament, and even that is a moot point.
