Variscan syntectonic hy dro ther mal veins of the Prague Synform are important traces of small-scale fluid migration in Lower Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks — a process induced by late Variscan tectogenesis. Two main structural types of Variscan syntectonic calcite veins were recognised during fieldwork. Veins of Type I have an irregular or sigmoidal shape and are often arranged in en echelon arrays. A shearing regime during the formation of this type is deduced. Veins of a second structural type (Type II) have a more regular and straight shape relative to those of Type I and in some places form a dense network. The structural position of the Type II veins is related to structural elements of Variscan folds. Veins were formed due to interlayer-slip combined with fold- related fracturing that gave rise to the infilling of dilational structures. A tensional regime also permits growth of the fibrous veins. Two princpal directions were distinguished within the Type II veins. The first one is NNW–SSE and the second one shows a perpendicular ENE–WSW orientation. These directions seem to be parallel and/or perpendicular to the nappearchitec ture of the Prague Synform. Variscan syntectonic veins crystallised in a relatively closed, rock-buf fered system. Extraction of chemical components from surrounding rocks is indicated by a combined microprobe/cathodoluminescent study and by isotope geochemistry. The carbon isotope values of hydrothermal calcites reflect the carbon isotope composition of the host rocks. The delta exp.13C values of vein calcites and their host Silurian rocks are between –0.29 and –1.98‰ PDB. The same relationships were found between the veins and the host Devonian limestones (from 1.72 to 2.52‰ PDB). Samples close to the Silurian/Devonian boundary show transition values between 0.25 and + 1.16‰ PDB. The Sr-isotopic signature supports a genetic link between the calcite veins and the host rocks. The 87Sr/86Sr ra tio in calcites ranges between 0.708619 and 0.708738 and in wall rocks be tween 0.708755 and 0.709355. Aqueous and hydrocarbon-rich fluid systems have been found in fluid inclusions. Liquid hydrocarbons show mostly a light blue fluorescence suggesting the presence of higher hydrocarbons. They are more abundant in dark Silurian rocks, which are rich in organic matter. Lower salinities (0.5–8.9 eq. wt.% NaCl) and homogenization temperatures with a maximum around 140gradeC are typ i cal for the aqueous (H2O–NaCl) system. The oxygen isotopic composition of fluids ranges between –2.80 and +3.33‰ SMOW. This indicates that transformed formation waters in teracted with the host rocks and/or deeply circulating isotopically depleted meteoric waters. Intersections with the isochore specify border trapping temperatures between 127 and 160grade C and pressures from 300 to 1070 bars.
