The main idea of both the passage and the lecture is about animals' living tissue in fossils and its applications for researchers. The passage provides three reasons and, on the other hand, the professor rejects whatever mentioned in the passage.
First, the passage and the professor talk about residue of blood vessels. According to the reading, the author states that many small channels have been found inside the leg bone of the fossil. Nevertheless, the professor refutes this point and states that after the death of animal, bacteria colonize inside the body of the animal and form a hollow channel. Thus, this channels may not relevant to the living's animal tissue of the discovered fossil.
Second, the passage and the professor discuss the issue of red blood cells. The passage states that, due to microscopic examination, the existence of spheres could be related to red blood cells. On the other hand, the professor is against this idea and states that other animal may also have red blood cells and this red blood cells which passage talks about may come from another origin.

The passage talks about the presence of Collagen inside the fossil; however, the professor rejects this point and states that we know Collagen cannot last for the long time. He adds that Collagen may come from the skin of the researcher who carries the fossil.
