TPO-13 - Integrated Writing Task Private collectors have been selling and buying fossils, the petrified remains of ancient organisms, ever since the eighteenth century. In recent years, however, the sale of fossils, particularly of dinosaurs and other lar
The reading passage argues that private ownership of fossils would be bad for both the public and the scientific community. However, the speaker in the lecture casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She mentions that the concerns in the passage are greatly exaggerated.
First and foremost, the author assumes that citizens would lose access to many fossils as private owners keep them out of public display. Also, people's interest in fossils might drop as well. Nevertheless, the lecturer indicates that the private sector would actually increase the public exposure to fossils. She further elaborates that the rife of excavated fossils would lead to affordable prices, even for the low level institutions, such as schools and libraries, which would routinely purchase these fossils for display. As a result, more individuals would encounter fossils during their visits to public places.
Secondly, the writer holds that scientists and researchers would miss out on many discoveries since the organizations they work for, such as universities, would not be able to compete with millionaires to acquire the unearthed fossils. In contrast, the professor in the lecture brings up the fact that only scientists could put value on the discovered fossils and all fossils have to go through the hands of academics before making their way to the market. Therefore, there would be no loss of data.
Lastly, the excerpt contends that commercial excavators are untrained and uncommitted to field work to document historical facts and they would not pay attention to immediate surroundings that constitutes valuable evidence. The lecture, on the other hand, states that if it were not for businessmen and companies, many fossils would have gone untapped. According to the lecture, it's better to bring more fossils to light than to leave them underground even though some scientific data might get lost in the process of excavation.
