Presents results from 2 samples from a clay lens in a Monier Golden Grove sand pit. 2 other samples from the leaf bearing beds at Maslin Bay were examined to determine if the fossils from the 2 sites are of similar age and if the host sediments are correlative. The palynofloras from both areas are assigned to the boundary between the Proteacidites confragosus and P. pachypolus zones, and to the lower `Nothofagidites asperus Zone in the Gippsland sequences (mid Middle Eocene) The palynological zonations and the age determination indicate that the sand deposit at Golden Grove is probably a correlative of the North Maslin Sands.
