The sale of fossils
The passage offers description about the private collectors, who sell and buy fossils thus making it to be a profitable venture. However, the professor refutes the theory and offers evidences claiming that fossils are readily available for purchase thereby providing greater exposure for the general public.
Firstly, it is stated in the reading that public is deprived of seeing fossils, by the private collectors, which could make them less interested. Also, if the fossils are displayed in the museum, it is likely that many persons might view them. On the contrary, the lecture disagrees and conveys that fossils are readily available for purchase which could prove beneficial for low level schools and other organizations.
Secondly, since wealthy fossil buyers spend limitless amount of money to acquire the rarest fossil, scientist may miss the opportunity to conduct research work and come up with great discoveries. Furthermore, competing against the millionaires who buy fossil is a herculean task. This is contradicted by the professor stating that any fossil will first pass through the lab test by scientist before reaching the hands of the buyers. hence, a perfect detailed examination is thoroughly undergone before it is destined to reach the collectors. Therefore, there is nothing that the scientists are to miss.
Thirdly, the claim of the fossils getting destroyed or overlooked by the buyers is proved false in the lecture by implying that many fossils go undiscovered and hence the fossil collectors destroying valuable scientific evidence is not true.
To put in a nutshell, the above facts can be condensed that inspite of the buying and selling of fossils, it is indeed beneficial to the general public and scientists as indicated in the lecture.
