Description	The Prague Synform (Ordovician to Devonian) was folded and thrusted during the Variscan orogeny. This paper is focused on one of these thrusts: the Ockov Fault. The creation of a stratigraphic separation diagram and detailed study of new tunnel exposures has brought about the recognition of the eastern prolongation of the fault, as well as its flat-ramp-flat geometry and thrusting nature.
