The passage lists several disadvantages of the growth in the business of selling and buying fossils in private markets. However, the professor in the lecture refutes the author's claim; Even though the professor agrees that there would be negative consequences, she states that the benefits of flourishing private markets for fossils outweigh its drawbacks.
First of all, the lecturer claims that we would expose to an immense number of fossils available with a wide range of prices, and as a result, public organizations, such as museums and schools would probably afford to buy some fossils. This point contradicts that part of the passage which alleges that private markets will restrict the accessibility of the public to the highly-priced fossils.
Furthermore, the professor challenges the assertion in the writing that tending to collect valuable fossils privately would lead to limiting the access of scientists to them. According to the professor, determining merits of a fossil requires the exact identification of its features by scientific experts. Therefore, not only would not private markets reduce the number of fossils, but they would give rise to exposure of a tremendous number of fossils to scientists and research institutes as well because the fossils have to pass to them at first.
Finally, the lecturer asserts that discovering numerous fossils is more beneficial for the scientific community despite the damage that might occur to the data due to the careless behavior of fossil collectors. Consenting the fact that the damage is inevitable, the professor finds it advantageous compared to leaving all those fossils and data undiscovered.
