The impact of buying and selling fossils by private collectors

Essay topics:

The impact of buying and selling fossils by private collectors.

The article introduces the topic of the private collectors selling and buying fossils. More specifically, the writer discusses that this is an unfortunate for the scientist and the general public. The lecturer in the listening passages disagrees. She believes that the claims made are exaggerated, because even when there are some issues, the benefits are bigger. She attacks each of the claims made in the reading.

In the reading, the author begins by stating that the general public is deprived of watch and enjoy the fossil exposition, because these fossils are sold to private collectors and not donated to the museums anymore. Lecture, however, disagrees. She states that this situation increases the public exposition and interest for fossils. She goes on to say that the commercial of fossils increases the interest of more sectors, for instance, universities. They can purchase fossils and give them more exposure to general public.

The author also claims that scientist do not have access to all these fossils, simply because is unlikely that they compete with rich buyers. This may result in a lack of potential discoveries. Again the lecturer believes there are flaws in the write’s logic. The speaker holds that all the fossils that are sold firstly must be discovered and examined. On the top of this, the only people capable to do this job are the scientist. Thus, the scientific community will not miss any potential discovery or important information related to the fossils.

Another reason why the author feels that the private commercial of fossil affects negatively the scientific community and general public is that they use to damage the material collected. Also, they do not document the important information and context of the fossils, as a consequence of the lack of knowledge in the field. The professor in the listening passage is doubtful that this is accurate. She suggests that these discoveries are mostly thanks to the private cooperation. The lecturer believes that most universities and public institution do not invest in favor of these investigations. This is why even though scientists may lose part of these information, the positive impact of private collectors is greater.

To sum up, both the writer and the professor hold conflicting views about the impact of fossils private collectors. They will have trouble finding common ground on this issue.
