Furthermore, the author states that scientists will not be able to obtain ample amount of information from the fossils as they will not get assess to fossils to study them. On the other hand, the professor posits that usually after the discovery of fossil, it is first studied by a scientist to know about it's authenticity. So, they will not miss the opportunity to study the fossil or miss out any information regarding the fossil.
Finally, the passage contends that unprofessional wealthy fossil seekers will destroy valuable scientific evidence.
