La Colina, H5

La Colina fell at 11:30 pm local time on March 19, 1924, in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina.  Following a bright flash and detonations, a single 2 kilogram stone was recovered on a ranch.  I wasn’t able to find any additional information about the fall online, but I managed to track down an original copy of E.H Ducloux’s 1925 paper Nota sobre el meteorito de la Colina, the original report describing the fall.
