GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Science - Geology / African Geology
English term or phrase: fold and thrust belt
"...pre-Cambrian crystalline and metamorphosed rocks of West African fold and thrust belt".

I thought it could be something like: "as rochas cristalinas pré Cambrianas e metamórficas da dobra e do cinturão da falha de compressão do oeste africano."

Is that right? Any other suggestion?
