description Bishopville Overview
Bishopville is an aubrite meteorite that fell near Bishopville in Sumter County, South Carolina, in 1843. Aubrites are enstatite-rich achondrites, meaning they are igneous meteorites with very little metallic iron and without the abundant chondrules found in ordinary chondrites. As a witnessed nineteenth-century American fall, Bishopville provides researchers with historically documented material for studying highly reduced planetary bodies and differentiation in the early solar system.
