German term or phrase: eingeschuppt
"Das Infratatrikum umfasst die ***eingeschuppten***, frontalen, unteren Teile des Tatrikums und nimmt eine vergleichbare Stellung wie das Unterostalpin in den Ostalpen ein. Die Infratatrischen Einheiten kommen in tektonischen Fenstern in Form von liegenden Faltendecken vor. Das Basement besteht aus schwach metamorphen Glimmerschiefern, Amphiboliten und Metagranitoiden. Die sedimentäre Bedeckung besteht an der Basis aus permischen kontinentalen Sedimenten, welche von triassischen Karbonaten überlagert werden. Nach einer obertriassischen Schichtlücke folgen jurassische syn-rift-Sedimente (marin-terrigene Klastika;)."

I'm thinking possibly "imbricated?"

tectonically intercalated
Explanation:
would be my choice.

These rocks were metamorphosed in the greenschist facies; then, during cataclastic metamorphism, slabs of Barclay Creek argillite became tectonically intercalated between blocks of migmatite:

Note the usage of "Schuppenzone" by english native speakers:
The oceanic basalt-komatiite-quartzite assemblage was tectonically intercalated with passive margin sediments of the Wyoming craton margin during collision with the Santaquin arc, as the arc partially over-rode the craton margin. The resulting schüppenzone represents an obduction melange:
