Private collectors have been selling and buying fossils, the petrified remains of ancient organisms, ever since the eighteenth century. In recent years, however, the sale of fossils, particularly of dinosaurs and other large vertebrates, has grown into a big business. Rare and important fossils are now being sold to private ownership for millions of dollars. This is an unfortunate development for both scientists and the general public.
The public suffers because fossils that would otherwise be donated to museums where everyone can see them are sold to private collectors who do not allow the public to view their collections. Making it harder for the public to see fossils can lead to a decline in public interest in fossils, which would be a pity.
More importantly, scientists are likely to lose access to some of the most important fossils and thereby miss out on potentially crucial discoveries about extinct life forms. Wealthy fossil buyers with a desire to own the rarest and most important fossils can spend virtually limitless amounts of money to acquire them. Scientists and the museums and universities they work for often cannot compete successfully for fossils against millionaire fossil buyers.
Moreover, commercial fossil collectors often destroy valuable scientific evidence associated with the fossils they unearth. Most commercial fossil collectors are untrained or uninterested in carrying out the careful field work and documentation that reveal the most about animal life in the past. For example, scientists have learned about the biology of nest-building dinosaurs called oviraptors by carefully observing the exact position of oviraptor fossils in the ground and the presence of other fossils in the immediate surroundings. Commercial fossil collectors typically pay no attention to how fossils lie in the ground or to the smaller fossils that may surround bigger ones.
The reading and lecture is about selling and purchase of the fossils. The reading says that many commercial and private collectors plays a detrimental role in the field of discovery during marketing-- and it includes the rare and valuable fossils. However, the speaker refutes these scenario is not the actual case, and argues that, unless the fossils doesn't reach to the hands of a scientist, it will not be verified, and refutes each of the reasons claimed by the authors.
First, the reading claims that due to haphazard scenario of selling and buying of these fossils, it would not enable to all the public to view the fossils. The speaker refutes the claim that, due to the easy process of marketing and transaction, it would create easy to buy and reach among the low level of people.
Second, the article posits that these scenario would leads to less reach within the scientist, and leads to less and less discovery. He also claims that, the technical institutions, museums and scientists would not able to reach among the millions of fossil buyer. However, the speaker argues that to be any fossil as a authentic, it should transmitted and verified by the scientist. Unless, scientists doesn't gives it detail, it has less value.
Third, the author feels that on passing of fossils by collectors, some evidence can be deteriorate, and gives the evidences of nest-building dinosaurs called ovitaptors,and it's indications to find other fossils, which collectors doesn't know. However, the speaker opposes the points that many commercial fossils which were damaged during the handling procedure remains undiscovered, and it would not be a great case
