However, some lineages, such as dwarf horse-sized saltasaurine titanosaurs (e.g. Neuquensaurus, Saltasaurus)

Horse-sized!!?? These saltasaurines were still over 10m long and weighed around 12 tonnes. Exactly how big are the horses in your neck of the woods?

Still, 10-12m adult body length is very modest for a sauropod. Several hadrosaur and theropod species were larger.
