In this "group" the Sauropods were mostly bulky, and relatively short necked.
The euhelopids were mainly big bodied sauropods, with very long necks
(except for Datousaurus and Shunosaurus, which were rather short necked).
The necks could grow half the
body size, and a neck from Mamenchisaurus has been measured to be 14 metres, of
the animals total lenght of 22 metres.

While "cetiosaurids" are known to be heavy, short and powerfully built.
