Matt, if more recovery is needed, then there is a dirty and dangerous trick. You can set _allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE,

_allow_read_only_corruption=TRUE then do alter database read_only resetlogs; and immediately do full export from the database. That way, you can salvage the data or what's left of it. I'm not a member of oracle support, these are undocumented parameters, you can do it, on your own risk.
