Leon Steinhardt will speak to us on the 'Fossils of the Esk Formation, Brisbane Valley'.  

Leon’s talk will be based on the fossils he has collected personally. He is a retired high school teacher and Head of Department for Social Science. He always had an interest in the physical world around him and became interested in palaeontology when he was told of the very significant fossils in the Esk Formation, after he was transferred to Lowood State High School.
