Finally, this could engage the black market. Some places in the world have large assets of fossils being in poor locations. It seems clear that the risk of spoliation (you just taught me a new word in English, hahahaha) in poor countries could rise with these transactions, except unless we legislate.
Topics like this one, that which seem to have less of an impact on our lives and the planet compared to others, are also asking for our reasoning and action.Wow, you are at a really high level of English. I felt like my college professor here. Great job! My corrections should make things sound more natural. Keep it up :)

As The better tools the science community has, the better the understanding of the reality. Every time a new technique is discovered, the review of our museums and universities' (apostrophe shows possession, the assets belong to the universities) assets can result in revealing knowledge.
Second, the risk of loses is certainly high. Those are heavy bones, treacherously similar to rocks, but extremely fragile in fact. And worse, this specimen is worth more sold by as parts than in a as a whole, especially in on the black market, that where people will pay a lot only for a teeth tooth.0 votedSeptember 28, 20181A Dinosaur Saw Paris
A dinosaur was seen in Paris on in June.
It was not a typical youtuber's joke, neither nor the commercial campaign of Jurassic World, it was not an nor an illusion neither.
The skeleton of a very special dinosaur was exposed in the first stage (do you mean first floor or the early days?) of the Eiffel Tower. It was an auction, an extremely expensive one in fact. The bid started from at 1 million euros and rose until to 1.58 m € paid by a private buyer, the identity of whom has been kept in a secret.
It is common that unaffordable objects are sold to private wealthy hands (makes sense but sounds better as "are sold to wealthy private entities" or "fall into the hands of the wealthy"). It has been happening with paintings, celebrity's belongings, books, and like in this case, with pieces of natural history.0 votedSeptember 28, 20180- The question is how good are these types of transactions?
It seems they are legal. The skeleton was found in a U.S. excavation with all the clearances fulfilled. it went out USA fulfilling The U.S. followed all of the applicable exportations export procedures.
But, can we can afford it? What is the impact of hiding treasures.
Universities and museums cannot spend this incredible sum of money, typically only private handlers entities can do it. But this is not new. Historically we have had "mecenas" (???) and philanthropists have been involved acting in arts, science, etc. Think about it, could arts have evolved without those figures in the past? It seems clear that the private money is needed.
But this is a special case, a skeleton of what it could be have been a new species, with an unprecedented 75% conservation degree rate, now kidnapped into private hands.
What are the impacts of allowing this skeleton to only be enjoyed by private hands?0 votedSeptember 28, 20180 - Mi cuaderno - 27 de septiembre de 2018 Hoy en la mañana, voy a manejar a la oficina, pero primero, tengo que llenar el tanque. No he manejado en varios días porque el martes y el miércoles estaba resfriado y me quedé en casa. Cerca de mi casa, hay muchas casas que están cerradas porque están construyendo departamentos nuevos. Está muy triste porque las casas que estaban allá eran casas públicas para las personas que no tienen mucho dinero y los departamentos que quieren construir van a ser bien caros. Eso hizo enojar a los residentes acá y me pone triste porque me pregunto a dónde irá la gente que vivían allá, especialmente porque no hay muchas casas económicas aquí en la ciudad. Pero bueno, ya llegué a la gasolinera y esto es interesante. Normalmente, el surtidor tiene tres opciones, supremo, plus, y regular, y las opciones van de izquierda a derecha. Pero por algún motivo en esta gasolinera las opciones van al revés. Me siento como los dueños están tratando de engañar a la gente. Jajaja. Últimamente he estado tomando el autobús así que no tengo que manejar a la oficina, pero hoy tengo que manejar porque tengo clase antes de trabajo. Ya me doy cuenta de que los precios ha estado subiendo porque ya pagué $40 por la gasolina. Los precios son mas caros que los de hace unas semanas. Va. Mi tanque está lleno. Vamos pa la oficina.September 27, 201860
Hola Sergio.
Creo que en este contexto, sería "as". Por ejemplo:
"Necesito trabajar ya que soy mayor de edad" = "I need to work as I'm of age."
Tenemos que enfocarnos en este nuevo proyecto ya que es una oportunidad única" = We have to focus on this new project as this is a unique opportunity.
Espero que eso te ayude.
Chau :)

It was raining yesterday, and I needed to go to the supermarket to buy dog food. My mom and I each have an umbrella for each one, but my mom’s was easier to get to, so I took that one and went out. I opened it up, but I didn’t realize about one thing, I’m gonna which I will mention later. After walking a block, I started noticing that there were people looking at me, and the umbrella as well. There were a couple of kids who laughed at me. I didn’t have any idea what that was that about (I had no idea why)! But then, I suddenly felt something hanging close to (next to) my right shoulder. I turned back to take a glance, and for to my surprise… there was a were a pair of scissors hanged hanging on the umbrella. I thought, “how did this s#i@ came get here!?” I tried to take it off while walking, but it was pretty stuck by to a little rope that my mom is used to putting on the scissors she uses for her sewing. I remembered that the umbrella was close to the basket where she keeps her sewing materials, so that the most likely if that it it most likely got stuck there. I got at to the market, and the guard just saw my weird and original umbrella decoration, and I just played dumb pretending it really was a decoration. When I came out of the supermarket, I took it off of the umbrella. It was kind of complicated actually. I still wonder how that thing got stuck there, unbelievable! And I wonder how funny I looked with that thing hanging there.Hahaha. Your English is really good, and your story is funny! I just made a few corrections to make it sound more natural. Cheers :)

Estábamos pasando un buen rato saltando y volando por el aire y dando vueltas. Cuando se estaba poniendo el sol, mis padres vinieron a llevarme a casa. En el momento que llegaron, decidí hacer un salto más. Estaba yendo y de repente me caí de la patineta y se me cortó la pierna en el costado de la rampa. Gracias a dios, mis padres me llevaron a la casa y mi papá me puso una venda. Ya tengo una larga cicatriz en la pierna.September 26, 201840
