tpo 13 selling dinosaurs fossils to private collectors
The material discusses the concept of selling dinosaurs' fossils to private commercial markets. While the reading mentions that this approach has a regrettable development for both scientists and the general public, the listening challenges this and points out that there are negative consequences of selling fossils to private collectors, but the advantages of this approach greatly outweigh the disadvantages.
First, the author mentions that the public will lose the accessibility to view these selling fossils. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and posits that, by selling fossils to private collectors, the public will have greater exposure to these fossils, not less exposure. The lecturer explains that commercial fossils hunting makes many fossils are available to purchase, even if not many public institutions, such as public schools or libraries can buy fossils.
Second, the writer states that scientists will not have the ability to examine fossils, so many important information about extinct life forms will miss out. On the contrary, the speaker encounters this and cits that before any value put on these fossils, they should be scientifically examined first. According to the lecture, people who identify these fossils through scientific examination and tests are scientists. The professor adds that these fossils have to pass first to the hand of experts, so nothing out there will be missed out.
Third, the reading brings out that commercial fossil collectors are untrained, so they destroy valuable scientific evidence related to fossils. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and contends that if commercial fossil collectors do not find many fossils, many fossils will still undiscovered. The lecturer says that not many universities run the operation of finding fossils. Thus, it is better for science to find many fossils even they do not have all the data about their around locations, than having many fossils are completely undiscovered.
