The reading and the lecture are both regarding fossils ownership. According to the author of the reading, there should be fewer private ownerships as it has a lot of negative consequences whereas the lecturer have diametrically opposite opinion. The lecturer casts doubts on the main points made in the reading by using three examples.
Preeminently, according to the reading general public suffers as they are unable to see fossils. Furthermore, the author elaborates that this would cause a deteriorating public interests in fossils. However, the lecturer refutes this point. He states that there would be greater exposure to general public as private owner sell the fossils to museums and universities at lower cost. This would lead to more universities and museums to collect them and hence more people could see them.
By the same token, the reading states that scientists lose out access to many fossils and this in turn hinders several important discoveries. Nevertheless, the lecturer disputes this argument, He asserts that before putting a value on the fossil it has to be identified which is done by scientists. At the same time, scientists perform several tests and details on the fossils.
In winding up, the reading contends that private owners are not trained to handle a fossils. This could result in destroying the fossil. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is that many fossils are discovered due to private owners as they initiate them. Many universities, scientists and museums do not try to initiate the search. In addition, the lecturer concludes by suggesting that it is better to have some fossils damaged in the process of searching them rather than not finding any fossils.
