Of course there are some negative consequences of selling fossils in the commercial market, but they have been greatly exaggerated. The benefits of commercial fossil trade greatly outweigh the disadvantages.
First of all, the public is likely to have greater exposure to fossils as a result of commercial fossil trade, not less exposure. Commercial fossil hunting makes a lot of fossils available for purchase, and as a result, even low-level public institutions like public schools and libraries can now routinely buy interesting fossils and display them for the public.
As for the idea that scientists will lose access to really important fossils, that’s not realistic either.
Before anyone can put a value on a fossil, it needs to be scientifically identified, right? Well, the only people who can identify fossils, who can really tell what a given fossil is or isn’t, are scientists, by performing detailed examinations and tests on the fossils themselves. So even if a fossil is destined to go to a private collector, it has to pass through the hands of scientific experts first. This way, the scientific community is not going to miss out on anything important that’s out there.
Finally, whatever damage commercial fossil collectors sometimes do, if it weren’t for them, many fossils would simply go undiscovered because there aren’t that many fossil collecting operations that are run by universities and other scientific institutions. Isn’t it better for science to at least have more fossils being found even if we don’t have all the scientific data we’d like to have about their location and surroundings than it is to have many fossils go completely undiscovered?
the article states that rare and important fossils have been selling and buying to private collectors and leading to suffering for both scientists and public people, and provides three reasons for supports. However, the professor explains that the piece of the claims are exaggerated and the benefits of this procedure have more weight than the disadvantages and refutes each of the author's reasons.
first, the reading claims that average people and scientists suffering some injury because of they can not use these precious pieces of fossils for different aspects like using them in museums, exhibitions, etc. the professor opposes this point by saying that fossils are available for purchase and schools, library, and museums can buy them and displaying to exhibits.
second, the article states that scientists cannot access the crucial information and discoveries related to the extinct life of animals. In contrast, the professor says that the value of fossils and the importance of them recognized by the scientific community. according to the professor, scientists not only examine the founded fossils and test them, but also the expert of those scientists approve the accuracy of that fossils.
third, the reading posits that private collectors when finding pieces of fossils destroying valuable scientific evidence associated with them. the professor casts doubt on this point by saying that commercials fossils collectors can help the scientific society unearthing new fossils and its better for scientists than those fossils undiscovered.
