Daule 
Guayas, Ecuador
Fell: 23 March 2008, approximately 9 a.m. local
time (UT-5)
Classication: Ordinary chondrite (L5)

History: People in Daule and the surrounding region heard a series of loud detonations and, moments later, two stones were seen to fall. A single stone fell outside a home next to the Daule River. The homeowner was less than 5 m from the stone, which penetrated nearly 1 m into the mud and bounced out, landing on the surface. He picked up the stone moments later. Another stone was reported to have impacted into a ooded rice paddy and sent a fountain of water several meters in the air; this stone has not been recovered.
