Private collectors
In his commentary, the author claims that illegal market of petrified remains, being controlled by wealthy people, has grown into a big business. He believes that such trading harms scientists and museums, reducing the number of fossils available for investigation and exhibition. However, the lecturer questions whether side effects outweigh benefits of commercial trading of unearthed fossils.
The first contradicting point is the remains donations’ to museums. According to the author, selling petrifications to private collectors leads to a drop in the public’s interest, reducing the museum’s attendance. The lecturer rebuts this argument, saying that the high interest among private collectors actually benefits scientists, making more parts available for research in the market. Thus, museums can routinely buy them and add to their exhibitions.
Another controversial issue is the potential miss of important discoveries. The author claims that wealthy buyers control the market and buy fossils no matter the cost, limiting the access of scientists to remains. This limit reduces the number of possible discoveries about extinct life forms. This point is challenged by the lecturer, who says that every fossil has to be verified by an expert before entering the market. In fact, remains are identified and reviewed by scientists at first.
The third aspect of the debate is the lack of experience among private investors. Unlike experienced professionals, wealthy collectors are uninterested in the maintenance of remains and other important evidence provided by these fossils at excavation sites. For instance, dinosaur’s fossils are especially of a great value unearthed, since their position may provide evidence to answer scientists’ specific questions. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that many expeditions are fostered by fossil hunting. Thus, some petrified remains could have never been found without them. Indeed, commercial expeditions provide accurate locations where other fossils could be found, making it useful for explorers.
