The Chinese sauropod Euhelopus was the first Chinese dinosaur to be scientifically studied in 1923. It is the namesake for the family group of Euhelopopidae, all of which are found in East Asia. Euhelopus had longer forelegs than hindlegs, and it is one of the few sauropods found with a relatively complete skull. Euhelopus was a large-sized macronarian sauropod, weighing in between 17-22 tons and reaching up to 49 feet in length.
