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 bus

The article discusses about the disadvantages of the commercial fossils. However, the lecturer in the listening section diagrees; she mentions that the given explanations in the reading passage are highly exaggerated and the advantages of commercial fossils far outweights it's disadvantages.

To begin with, the reading posits that public suffers as they will not be able to view the fossils, and eventually, it will reduce the interest of the public in fosssils. Nevertheless, the professor refutes this statement and says that it actually increases the possibility to see by the general public as the fossils can be purchased by the public schools and put it for exhibition.

Futhermore, the article claims that scientists are likely to miss out some of the information related to past life forms. The professor disagrees with the idea and says that the explanation is unrealistic. She goes on saying that, while putting the commercial value of the fossils, scientists are the ones that identify the fossils and put the value; therefore, scientific experts will not miss single information on this field.

Finally, the reading explains that commercial fossil unearthers destroy the scientific evidence associated with the fossil. Nonetheless, the professor refutes this argument by mentioning that there are less scientific institutions that are working for the discovery of the fossils, and the involvement of the commercial fossil collectors helps to identify and discover the more fossils; consequently, leading to more discoveries of the fossils. By this, the professor believes that the involvement of the commercial fossil collectors is far more advantageous than its disadvantages.
