Pânza este aici nappe. Digitaţiile par a fi cute (folds) cu formă de degete (fingerlike projections?)

v.
In geology, a nappe is a large sheetlike body of rock that has been moved more than 2 km (1.2 miles)[1] or 5 km[2] from its original position.
The frontal part in the direction of movement, is called the leading edge of a nappe; numerous folds and secondary thrusts and duplexes are common features here and are sometimes called digitations.
