Relationships between terrestrial formations in the central Latrobe Valley of southeastern Australia and coeval terrestrial and marine formations further to the east have been elucidated over the past several decades. In the Gippsland Basin’s Latrobe Valley and Seaspray depressions, Eocene to Miocene fossils including rare foraminifera and more common dinoflagellates have been recovered from all five interseam sediments in the Morwell Formation, six interseam splits within the Traralgon Formation that includes age diagnostic  Gippslandia extensa , and three interseams in the Alberton coal measures. The dinoflagellate assemblages generally are species-poor but do provide some age control and indicate episodic marine conditions within the Latrobe Valley Coal Measures. Some dinoflagellates may tolerate lower salinity near-shore waters, but above the Eocene acme of  Gippslandia extensa  are interpreted to indicate offshore conditions. The occurrence of dinoflagellates between seams of the Latrobe Valley and Alberton coal measures within the Gippsland Basin provides useful paleogeographic information, constraining paleo-shorelines.KEY POINTSFossils, including rare foraminifera and more common dinoflagellates, have been recovered from all five interseam sediments in Gippsland Basins Morwell Formation, six interseam splits within the Traralgon Formation and three interseams in the Alberton coal measures.Six interseam splits within the Traralgon Formation include the age diagnostic  Gippslandia extensa , which indicates a late Eocene (latest Bartonian to Priabonian) age.Species of  Spiniferites, Operculodinium  and  Hystrichokolpoma  dominate in the coal interseams in the Morwell and Alberton formations (Oligocene and Miocene ages) and reflect typical species found in the  Operculodinium  Superzone of Partridge.The occurrence of dinoflagellates between seams of the Latrobe Valley and Alberton coal measures within the Gippsland Basin provides useful paleogeographic information, constraining paleo-shorelines.
