Italian term or phrase: scaglia tettonica
This is from an article on the structure of the earth. Specifically, this part deals with the Prealps.

Le Prealpi Trevigiane corrispondono ad una grande piega anticlinale asimmetrica con il fianco meridionale più ripido di quello settentrionale.
Alla base del fianco meridionale esiste una faglia di tipo inverso in corrispondenza della quale il blocco viene spinto in avanti e verso l’alto a formare una cosiddetta ***scaglia tettonica***.

No idea how to translate this term, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
