sale of fossils
The provided material are concerned with the sale of fossils especially dinosaurs and other large vertebrates to private ownership for million of dollars. The author states that fossils selling have some negative points on science development and the general public. In contrast, the lecturer repudiates this point through several counterarguments that are as follows.
Initially, the author says that fossils should be in museums that everyone can see them. If people's accessibility to fossils becomes harder, public interests in fossils will decline. However, the lecturer explains that fossils selling induce people to see them more than museums. The purchase occurs in a public place that everyone can go.
Second, the writer thinks that fossils purchase affects scientists and students' accessibility to fossils and the commercial fossil buyers are wealthy enough that universities or museums can not compete with them. Yet again, the speaker underscores that scientists do not miss out on any important things. To purchase a fossil, some scientific identification must apply to it and the scientists are doing some detail examinations on fossils to approach this goal.
The final point of contention between the article and lecture is fossils destroying by collectors. The author says that most of the collectors are untrained people that can damage the fossils, but viably the scientists learn a lot about them and can observe a wide array of their characteristics. On the other hand, the speaker explains that maybe the collectors are untrained, but they unearth more fossils than scientists. If they did not discover this amount of fossils, many of the fossils would not discover and evidently scientists could not work on them.
