The reading states that there are several reasons that private collectors have been selling and buying fossils, and in recent years the number of this activity has increased and it is an unfortunate development for science. On the other hand, the lecturer finds all the reasons mentioned by the reading dubious and refutes them all by specific details.
First, the reading states that private collectors do not allow the public to view their collections. On the contrary, the professor mentioned the fact that most of the private collectors are private universities, and schools that buy fossils to show them, and research on them, also they allow to interested people watch their collections.
Furthermore, the author argues that scientists and the museums and universities they work for often cannot compete successfully for fossils against millionaire fossil buyers. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that only scientists can examine the fossils, and all the fossils found everywhere, should be examined by them, so they can research them.
Finally, the reading passage holds the view that that fossil collectors often destroy valuable scientific evidence, and they do not know how to keep them. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that by this way more fossils can be fined, and discovered more fossils is much better for the scientific world, so a private system will be very useful for them.
