Science - Geology
German term or phrase: Schwellengebiet
As I am in general undecided whether Schwelle is best translated as a rise or a ridge, I am further unsure how to translate this into English geo-parlance.

A sample sentence:

"Somit dürfte der breite Rudistenkalkgürtel zwischen xx und yy ein Schwellengebiet des Zeitraumes zzz nachzeichnen."

Any suggestions or advice would be great. Thanks!
