Both the reading and the listening discuss the commercial selling and purchasing of fossils by private collectors. The author believes that there are three negative consequences of selling fossils to commercial markets. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
To begin with, the author suggests that selling the fossils to private collectors, who will not display their collections to the people, deprive the public from their rights to watch them. In the article, it is mentioned that, the public interest in fossils will dramatically reduced. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She states that selling the fossils to private collectors would increase the public exposure to the fossils. This is because of increasing the availability of fossils and even schools an universities can buy it and display it to the public. As a result, the public exposure has not been diminished as claimed.
Secondly, the writer argues that scientists will miss out a lot of precious discoveries due to selling the fossils to private collectors. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim by asserting that this is not realistic at all. In fact; for any fossils to be identified as valuable discovery, it should pass through the hands of experts first to perform detailed examinations and acknowledge it. Therefore, Scientists will not miss any discoveries since they are the experts that will do the necessary investigations.
Finally, the author posits that private collectors are not trained and experienced enough to handle the fossils and they might damage it or lose important evidence. The lecturer, in contrast, casts doubt on this claim by pointing out that the private collectors have more capacity the universities and governmental sectors to make discoveries. Although, they might lose some important data, It is still better than completely undiscover these fossil.
