JME-SOS 2428 hails from the Solnhofen Formation. It is considered a specimen of Ardeadactylus. If anything, Peters's claims about flightlessness could be mentioned on the page for [[Ardeadactylus]], similar to how Peters's claims about Jeholopterus being vampiric are kept on the page for [[Jeholopterus]].
