The Palaeozoic sedimentary sequence of the Prague synform (Ordovician- Devonian) in the centre of the Bohemian massif underwent Variscan deformation and thermal overprint events. Variscan veins widespread throughout the sedimentary strata have precipitated from syntectonic aqueous and hydrocarbon-rich fluids. Homogenization temperatures of aqueous inclusions increased from 70 up to 226 degC in the Cambrian rocks underlying the Prague synform. Seawater, modified due to intensive water-rock interaction, was the main fluid component. Fluid flow was limited and restricted to the lithostratigraphic compartments forming a rock-buffered system. Stable isotopic modelling (C, O) and final interpretations of the confined hydrostratigraphic fluid migration was supported by the 87Sr/86Sr ratio in veins and wall rocks. Siliciclastic Cambrian and Ordovician rocks and the associated intersecting veins yielded similar isotopic signatures, and consequently the fluid migration is restricted to layer- and formation-scales. Gradually downwards increasing fluid temperature and compositional changes reflect burial at oil-window conditions. An open fluid system could be expected in proximity of major faults of the Prague syncline and at the top of the sedimentary sequence.
