No, plesiosaurs looked like fish but were reptilian. They had to breathe air and fossil evidence shows they gave birth to live young.

The first Pterodactylus fossil discovered was found in the 1700's, and though I don't know who found the fossil, it was first described by Cosimo Alessandro Collini. Plesiosaur vertebrae were discovered as early as the 1600's, but they were believed to belong to fish.
