The establishment of a strong and deep-reaching Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) flow is still poorly understood. Sediments collected by the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) at Sites 278 and 274 provide an opportunity to reconstruct the evolution of the ACC in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. Here we use neodymium (Nd) isotope ratios from fossil fish teeth/ bone debris from two Oligocene-early Miocene sections (33-19 Ma) to trace the evolution of the Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) (which covers the deeper layers of the ACC). In combination with other Nd isotope data from the Southern Ocean, our results show that CDW had a more radiogenic Nd isotope signal in the eastern side of the Tasmanian Gateway than in the western part, indicating provinciality in the Nd isotopes on both sides of the gateway between 31 to 19 Ma. This contrasts with the homogenous modern CDW Nd isotopic composition in the Southern Ocean. Our data suggest a weaker ACC than today between the Oligocene and at least the early Miocene. This implies that the establishment of the modern-like, strong, deep-reaching ACC may have occurred sometime during the Neogene.
