Private Ownership of fossils.
The passage and the lecture express their views regarding commercialisation of fossils based on viewpoints of public, scientists and possibility of further discoveries. That being said, the author of the passage proposes that commersialisation of fossils have greater harm than benefits for public and scientists, whereas the lecturer presents quite opposite views.
As an initial argument, the passage suggests that public suffers great disadvantage from the private ownership of the fossils, as it directly hampers the opportunity for public to see and know about those fossils. However, the orator counters this argument declaring that with the private ownership of the fossils even low level institution can participate in the ownership and fossils can be seen seen easily in schools, as well as in local library. These omnipresent fossils will surely increase the exposure of fossils than making it opaque under museum.
Further, the speaker casts doubt in the argument proposed by the author regarding the access of fossils to scientific community. She states that the commercialisation of the fossils follow certain cycle in which first of all it has to be discovered by scientists, then only it will go through value chain process. Therefore, scientists have enough time and first hand acess to these fossils to study and find their significance.
Finally, the author in order to prove his argument posists that the commercial fossil will destroy the possibility and evidences of using fossils for scientific findings and discoveries. In contrasts, the lecturer questions the motivation of scientific community towards the discovery of fossils. In addition, she states that if it was not for the commercial fossils and the value they gain, the scientific community as well as university would not have spend this amount of huge resources in excavation and study of the fossils.
Therefore, with these specific and concrete counter argument the speaker posists serious doubt on the author's view regarding commercial fossils.
