The African Civet, Civettictis civetta, is the largest member of the extant African Viverridae. They are nocturnal animals and have a omnivorous diet that comprises of eggs, insects, carrion and small vertebrates. They range across much of the African continent. The skull of the African civet has a distinct sagittal crest which serves as the attachment for the muscles that power their robust jaws, and as a result they have a strong bite. The African Civet has a total of fourty teeth. The dental formula is 3/3, 1/1. 4/4, 2/2.

OUR MISSION

African Fossils seeks to increase public knowledge about prehistory by harnessing modern technology. Through digitizing otherwise inaccessible discoveries, African Fossils is dedicated to creating a growing repository of 3D models of significant fossils and artifacts, thus making them freely accessible to all. By allowing members to share their 3D printed creations, we hope to aid teachers, students and enthusiasts to exchange ideas and to be inspired to think about our tenuous place on the planet.

OUR METHODS

Most of the models have been captured using photometry and an SLR camera mounted on a tripod. The software used to convert the photos into 3D digital models are: Autodesk®123D™ Catch, Autodesk® ReCap™ Photo and the point clouds are processed using Autodesk® ReCap™ Photo and Meshlab. Many of the models were captured using the Artec range of Structured Light Scanners,  Artec Spider, Artec Eva and Artec Space Spider in conjunction with the software Artec Studio.  In addition some of models were captured using the LMI Technologies structured light scanner. The scanned collections include specimens housed in the National Museums of Kenya and the Turkana Basin Institute field stations. Some scans are taken from cast replicas rather than original specimens. The digital models on this site have been made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-Share Alike License.
