A stone of only 1.9kg was seen to fall on February 20, 1951
The stone meteorite named Dubrovnik fell with the sound of a thunderclap at 2:00 in the afternoon. Witnesses reported that the stone slammed into a tree before burying itself deep into the ground. Dubrovnik is classified as an L3-6 S3 polymict breccia with some unequilibrated fragments, and remains to this day almost intact (at 1.7kg) in a very fitting place, the Dubrovnik Museum.

After a noise like a thunderclap, a single stone was observed to hit a tree before embedding itself several feet into the ground. A mass of 1.9kg was later recovered from the field by Nico Cvjetkovic, Tomislav Cvjetkovic and George Antunovic.
